Unstable Wifi Connection Ubuntu 14.04

17,788

Solution 1

I suggest you try a driver parameter. Please open a terminal and do:

sudo -i
echo "options rtl8723be fwlps=0"  >  /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf
modprobe -r rtl8723be
modprobe rtl8723be
exit

It may take a reboot. Any improvement?

Solution 2

I added the following lines in /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf:

options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1

options iwlwifi swcrypto=1

and the bug is gone!

    I've read other questions in askUbuntu, but couldn't solve the problem as I'm new to Linux.

    The problem is that the Wifi connection on Ubuntu 14.04 is unstable. It does connect to wifi for a while, but after 5 minutes it just cannot find most of the networks(it does find some of them).

    I just bought it from Mouse Computer. But it is stable in Windows 8.1(dual boot) so seems not a hardware problem.

    I've tried the solutions below.

    1. Add "options iwlwifi 11n_disabled=1" in /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf

    2. Ignore IPv6

    3. Restart NetworkManager

    None of them solved the problem.

    Below follows the information of my Ubuntu.

        ======== Done ========
    

    Thank you in advance.

    btw, I'm studying Ubuntu because I found it is more fun than trying to cope with Windows. I could decide to switch my main platform to Ubuntu because of Ask Ubuntu community. Thank you all Ubuntu geeks.

      I 've noticed this when I use WPA to connect to the router. Try using WPA2 - it works fine for me now.

    Thank you very much! It worked and now I have a stable connection! But seems its slower than it supposed to be(or compared to windows).

    Well, seems that's because I disabled IPv6. I'm going to test that tomorrow.

    It solved all the problems! Thank you very much for your help. Would you be so kind as to explain me what was the cause of the problem? I'm trying to figure out by myself but cannot find information.

    Frankly, I just copied the solution from a post on ubuntuforums that seemed to solve the problem.

    You have a different wireless adapter. This answer is not relevant at all.

    I never posted what is my network adapter. Dont assume before hand. There May be more solutions to this problem. I did a "lshw -C network" command and my network adapter is "RTL8723BE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter". This is same as in the question Before commenting first "think".

    @YuuJinnai I had the same problem, I followed this solution and it worked but the internet is wayyy slower than it was suppose to be. I didn't disabled IPv6 don't even know where to disable it. Do you have any idea of what should I do?

    Greetings all ye around. I tried this and after reboot, my computer no more connects to wireless network.

    @SalathielGenèse This suggestion is now almost three years old. I suggest that you start you own new question and let's start fresh.

    @chili555, I don't wanrt to be voted down as it so often happened to me for already asked questions!!!

    @SalathielGenèse If you ask a clear, concise question, tell us the details about your wireless device, lspci -nnk | grep 0280 -A3 and ask for help, you will probably not get downvoted and I promise an upvote.
