Frequent Wi-Fi disconnections [Linux Mint]
Solvedrepiere Posted messages 35 Registration date Status Membre Last intervention -
Hello,
Following a change of router, I'm having issues with my Wi-Fi. Everything works well until there are major slowdowns, and then there's no Internet at all. However, the Wi-Fi icon indicates that I am connected with a good signal. I have to turn the Wi-Fi off and back on to be able to browse.
My ISP (Free) tells me that everything is fine on their end. I'm dual booting with Windows 11, and for the little I use it, I have no issues. I have indeed disabled secure boot.
Thank you for your responses.

Re,
I was thinking of waiting a bit before closing just in case.
The command output:

Hello,
My card is an intel wi-fi 6 AX201. I have partly resolved the issue by changing the kernel: I switched from 5.15.0-113 to 5.15.0-102 and since then it seems to work better.
However, I don't understand why?
Hello,
My card is an Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201, I partly resolved the issue by changing the kernel, I switched from 5.15.0-113 to 5.15.0-102 and since then it seems to be working better.
However, I don't understand why?
It is the kernel, possibly supplemented by firmware, that supports your Wi-Fi card. In Windows terminology, it’s a bit like updating the driver for your Wi-Fi card. If there was a bug fix between these two kernel versions, it’s not surprising that your Wi-Fi card is better supported.
I don’t know which version of Mint you’re using, but your new kernel is not the latest, which suggests that in the medium term you’ll need to migrate to a more recent version of Mint.
Good luck
Good evening,
Thank you for your encouragement.
What I find strange is that I had to downgrade from kernel 5.15.0-113 to 5.15.0-102 for it to work better; the opposite would have seemed more logical to me. I'm using the latest version of Mint, 21.3.
I ended up contacting Intel, and I'll see what happens.
Hello,
Indeed, it would have made sense, and it looks like there's a bug. I don't think Intel will be able to help you. Indeed:
- The most modern distributions use much newer Linux kernels (see here), with 6.1.94-1 in Debian stable (bookworm), 6.9.8-1 in Debian testing (trixie), and 6.9.9-1 in Debian unstable (sid). So it is probable that the kernel bug you experienced has been resolved since then.
- Wi-Fi card manufacturers only provide firmware, which is an opaque binary code block loaded by the kernel. The firmware is independent of the kernel and even of its architecture (32-bit or 64-bit). It is produced by the Wi-Fi card manufacturer (for example, iwlwifi for Intel cards). Since your Wi-Fi card works well with another kernel, it means that the bug does not come from the firmware but from the kernel itself.
Good luck
Hello,
Indeed, INTEL replied to me that their action is limited.
I don't understand the kernel references on Linux. On my distribution, the most recent one available is 5.15, supported until 2027, while 6.5 is supported until August 2024, and both 6.2 and 5.19 are end of life. What is the logic behind this?
I have had issues with disconnections again, no matter which kernel was used, a total of 5 (4 on 5.15..., 1 on 6.5). The latest one offered today is 5.15.0-116, but it hasn't resolved my issue.
So, changing the kernel does not improve my situation; my card works under Win 11, so the problem must come from the firmware, right?
Hello,
The difficulties with this wifi card are quite numerous even if they are not identical. On this forum (latest post), the user says they resolved the issue with the Linux Mint iso edge that has a 6.5 kernel.
https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=404098
Hello,
Yes, I had already seen your link and I tried the kernel 6.5 but it didn't work for me.
I saw that there were quite a few issues with this card, which is why I ended up contacting INTEL. What's surprising is that there were no issues for a year and then suddenly it's a mess...
Hello
I don't understand the kernel versioning on Linux, on my distribution the most recent proposed is 5.15 supported until 2027, while 6.5 is supported until August 2024 and 6.2 and 5.19 are end of life, what is the logic behind that?
See here (Q: How Does Linux Kernel Versioning Work?)
So changing the kernel does not improve my issue, my card works on Win 11 so the problem would come from the firmware, right?
It's hard to be categorical, because in theory it could be both. Here, we can reasonably wonder if a bug was introduced between kernels 5.15.0-102 and 5.15.0-113.
On the other hand, according to jns55 (see #9), the card seems to regularly have issues, and therefore we can suspect that the part of the firmware that supports this card is buggy, and that simply from one kernel version to another, the bug has more or less impact. If the problem comes from the firmware, it would be up to Intel to do something.
I saw that there were quite a few issues with this card, that's why I eventually contacted INTEL, what’s surprising is that for a year there were no issues and then suddenly the trouble...
Are your problems following a firmware update? What is the exact model of the card (as returned by lspci)?
Let us know which version of the firmware you are using. If it's a separate package (like in Debian), you can check it with:
dpkg -l | grep firmware
You can also report back the results of the commands mentioned here.
Finally, if the firmwares provided by Intel (see here) are different, it might be worth testing them. And if that changes something, the Mint maintainers who handle the relevant package (e.g. firmware-iwlwifi) should be asked to take a look through a bug report.
Good luck
Hello,
Is the problem the same when using live USB?
I have encountered this kind of issue (repeated connection and disconnection) several times with a WiFi card of a different model.
Each time, a simple restart of the box was enough to resolve the issue.
Have you checked if changing the WiFi channel on your box had any impact?
Good evening
for jns55:
I haven't tried it with a live USB yet, I'll try tomorrow.
For the Wi-Fi channel, I checked in the freebox settings / Wi-Fi / radio configuration: the primary channel is set to automatic, are we talking about the same thing? If so, considering that I have restarted my box several times, wouldn't it be really unfortunate not to have landed on a good channel? Sorry, but I'm not very savvy with computers.
For mamiemando:
It's hard to be categorical because, in theory, it could be either. Here, it’s reasonable to wonder if a bug was introduced between kernels 5.15.0-102 and 5.15.0-113.
Even before as the 102 is also causing me problems, I did believe in it for the length of an afternoon.
At first, I had associated my issues with the box change but after several contacts with Free and different tests, I ended up ruling this option out (perhaps wrongly?). Regarding the firmware update, I don't think so; the only ones I do are those offered by the MINT manager, so rather the kernels than the firmwares I think.
Intel sent me the same link as you for the firmwares, but according to them, it’s useless since the output of the command they suggested, the same one as on the link you sent me (# dmesg | grep “no suitable firmware found!”) returned nothing.
The output of the various requested commands:

For the others, we agree I should type the #, right? I ask this because with the # the commands return to the line without giving me any info and without the #:

Thanks again to both of you for the help
"For the wifi channel, I looked in the Freebox settings / wifi / radio configuration: the primary channel is set to automatic, we're talking about the same thing, right?"
Absolutely. Since it's set to automatic, it’s likely that upon restarting, it always selects the same channel. Try choosing a fixed one. Restart the box and see what happens. You can always go back to automatic if it's a wild goose chase.
But also do the live test; I wouldn't be surprised if it works fine.
Hello,
"for the wifi channel I looked in the parameters of the freebox/ wifi/ radio configuration: the primary channel is set to automatic, we're talking about the same thing, right?"
- Yes, and jns55's suggestion is interesting. Personally, I had to do this since I live in a fairly dense area. Force another channel (in the freebox settings, then restart it) and see if it works. Repeat the procedure with another channel if nothing changes.
For the others, we're agreed that I should type the # right?
- No, on forums, the # (or $) conventionally means that the command must be run as root (user), or through sudo.
- Don't confuse this with the # used to comment a shell command (that's why nothing happens when you precede your commands with a #).
- Regarding the formatting of your code snippets, choose BASH for the commands and XML for the results, this will prevent line breaks from being ignored.
- I'm surprised that the iwlwifi module isn't loaded, because it seems to me that it's supposed to support your wifi card. What does:
lsmod
give?
Good luck

After several attempts on live USBs, I am considering migrating to Kubuntu if the problem persists on Mint; the kernel is more recent 6.8+ and the desktop is not that different from Mint compared to Ubuntu
Hello,
This morning I'm completely lost, I turn on the computer, I download 2 different ISOs (Mint and Debian) to try the live USB, and at the same time, I surf the web, check my emails and nothing, not a single disconnection, I even tried waking it up from sleep and it’s fine, no issues??
Still, I tried your steps, changing the channel, both ISOs on USB, and everything works. I took the opportunity to check the kernels on both distributions: Mint on 5.15....76, and Debian on 6.2.. and my version of Mint on 6.5..44
Intel tells me that their firmware for my card is supported starting from kernel 5.2+, so how can the version on the USB stick support my card without adding firmware?
I’ll continue this afternoon and see if my issue reappears
I have the same box and my issues with random disconnections/reconnections were due to the box and not the PC. It worked fine under Windows, Android, and Chrome OS but had problems under Linux (Mint and Debian on different PCs). After restarting the box, there were no more issues. This has happened to me twice already.
As for Kubuntu, it's an Ubuntu with the KDE desktop. Mint being based on Ubuntu, I don't think it makes a difference.
Or you can completely change the base: Nobara, for example, is a nice distro with a KDE desktop, and it is based on Fedora.
It's a Fedora 40 with a ton of extra stuff, especially everything needed for gaming.
Hello,
Okay, I understand better about the #

Following experiments with live USBs, I am considering migrating to Kubuntu if my issues persist with Mint.
I followed your advice and tried the live USBs, I really liked the Kubuntu version, do you know it? Do you think I will encounter the same issue?
Hello,
If the channel hasn't changed anything, you need to investigate the firmware and/or kernel. Unfortunately, since these are usually common across distributions, the only thing that will make a difference is their version number.
Regarding your wifi module, this line is interesting:
iwlwifi 598016 1 iwlmvm We can see that it's indeed iwlwifi. It's not normal that your modinfo command crashes; it should look like this:
/usr/sbin/modinfo iwlwifi | head
filename: /lib/modules/6.1.0-22-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/iwlwifi.ko license: GPL description: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi driver for Linux firmware: iwlwifi-100-5.ucode firmware: iwlwifi-1000-5.ucode firmware: iwlwifi-135-6.ucode firmware: iwlwifi-105-6.ucode firmware: iwlwifi-2030-6.ucode firmware: iwlwifi-2000-6.ucode firmware: iwlwifi-5150-2.ucode ...
This suggests to me that your firmware is incorrectly installed. If during the kernel updates, you see warning messages saying "Possibly missing firmware"? To find out, please report back the result of:
sudo update-initramfs -u 2>&1 | grep "W: Possible missing firmware" | cut -d" " -f5 | cut -d"/" -f5
If there are any, that could be the explanation. It happens that not all firmwares are provided by the firmware-iwlwifi package.
For your information, I had the same problem on a machine where firmware related to an Intel i915 graphics card was missing, and to solve the issue, I wrote this script (in your case, you would need to adapt it to your missing firmwares):
#!/bin/bash URL="https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/i915/" echo Searching missing firmwares MISSING_FIRMWARES=$(update-initramfs -u 2>&1 | grep "W: Possible missing firmware" | cut -d" " -f5 | cut -d"/" -f5) echo Missing firmwares: cd /lib/firmware/i915 echo Downloading missing firmwares echo $MISSING_FIRMWARES for fw in $MISSING_FIRMWARES do wget $URL/$fw done update-initramfs -u cd -
Good luck
Hello,
I ended up switching to Mint, the various live USB trials made me want to change, it’s a radical solution but after all the time I’ve been battling.
I installed Kubuntu, I was looking for a "plug and play" distro somewhat like Mint actually, the kernel is recent and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it seems to be working.
Thank you both for all this advice.
Hello repiere,
Thank you for your feedback. Since Mint is based on Ubuntu, once you have identified a version of Ubuntu that suits you, if you decide to try Mint again:
- The correspondence between Mint version names and Ubuntu is available here.
- The correspondence between Ubuntu version names and numbers is available here.
It would be interesting to report which kernel and firmware version you are using for those facing the same issue by providing the results of these commands.
uname -a dpkg -l | grep firmware lsmod | grep iwl
Good luck
Good evening mamiemando,

So, new question on my side, it might help move things along.
I no longer have disconnections. However, my speed is halved compared to Windows 11 with Debian, Ubuntu live USB.
I followed jns55's advice and tried Nobara, Fedora, and Bluestar Linux. All three are based on Fedora. Nobara and Fedora have a speed identical to Windows 11. However, Bluestar Linux (really nice distribution by the way) has a throttled speed? If you have any idea? If you want me to check the distributions that work well.
Bluestar is not based on Fedora but on Arch Linux, which is a rolling release, a different approach.
Note: the look and behavior of Bluestar can be achieved on any other distro that has the Plasma 6 desktop (Kubuntu still has Plasma 5). It's just a matter of desktop configuration.
I have noticed that generally the throughput of Wi-Fi cards is slightly lower on Linux compared to Windows. This is simply because manufacturers optimize the Windows drivers well while the Linux drivers are often open-source drivers, therefore less optimized.
Fedora-based distros have a recent kernel (6.8.4), newer than Ubuntu. Bluestar, like Arch, has a cutting-edge development kernel (6.9.7). Opting for a very recent kernel has the advantage of improving support for the latest components, but on the other hand, these less tested kernel versions sometimes contain bugs. When searching for stability, one opts, like Debian, for an older kernel that has proven itself.
Yes, I did indeed make a mistake regarding Bluestar; it's Arch Linux.
However, just for information, I found this about rolling releases: In a rolling release system, updates are generally provided through a package manager over an internet connection.
If I understand correctly, Mint is the same then?
Note: The look and behavior of Bluestar can be achieved on any other distro that has the Plasma 6 desktop (Kubuntu still has Plasma 5). It's just a matter of desktop configuration.
It's true that I've been using Cinnamon for years, and I've gotten used to being able to customize the desktop according to my tastes, which is more limited on many distros I've tried lately.
As for the bandwidth (fiber), it's becoming a joke; this morning on another PC running Windows, I felt like I was on bad ADSL, while the one running Kubuntu was like good ADSL.... I think you're right about the box, but for Free, everything is fine according to them, and they don't want to change the box. I think it will end up with another operator; it's a shame because I had the Revolution before the Pop, and it worked well.
Intel has acknowledged my request but has limited action; they advised me to contact the PC retailer, who replied: Hello, our machines are not certified for Linux, in 2024!!!
My version of Kubuntu is 6.8.0-38; in your opinion, my PC is one year old. Would you opt for an older kernel version?
"In a rolling release system, updates are generally provided through a package manager via an internet connection."
"If I understand correctly, Mint is the same then?"
Yes. That definition doesn't mean anything; all systems update via an internet connection.
With a rolling release, there isn't really a version (aside from the version of the snapshot intended for a first installation), the distribution evolves continuously, and in principle, you never have to reinstall it. There is no difference between the version you can download today from the internet and a system that has been installed for a year or two and has been updated regularly. Even the kernel evolves in version as updates are made.
Regarding wifi speed, if you have an old wifi card in a PC, you won’t reach the same speeds as a PC with a newer card.
For example, at my place, the wifi card in my very recent Chromebook has an average download speed of between 600 and 700 Mb per second, but my old PC, which is 6 or 7 years old, tops out at less than 50 Mb/s, and a recent mini PC made in China reaches 150 Mb/s even though it's supposed to have wifi 6 (yeah right, those Chinese are real crooks). So, as you can see, it's not possible to draw conclusions about the wifi speed of a box with just a speed measured at one instant, as it can vary significantly throughout the day.
If your version of Kubuntu works fine like that, don’t change anything!
Well, yes. This definition doesn't mean anything, all systems update via an internet connection.
We can't even trust Wikipedia ;-) ,
I finally just got, after a weekend of hassle, Win 11 on my current PC, I didn't miss the blue screens of death on Windows.... I will be able to run tests with the same hardware between Win11, Kubuntu, and thanks to Ventoy ;-) an Arch and Fedora in a short enough time for it to be significant.
Regarding the speed, the guy from Free this morning didn't believe me when I said between 100 and 130 mb/s on Kubuntu and between 9 and 15 mb/s on my other PC running Win 11 as well, for a theoretical offer of 5gb/s. On this same PC at the very beginning, I did tests at a little over 1000 mb/s....
Yes, Kubuntu works well except on the internet where I find the pages "slow" to load compared to Win 11 for a nearly identical speed of around 500 mb/s, and this regardless of the browser.
Hello,
In response to #36: we should list the kernel and firmware versions used for each distribution, as well as the loaded modules (lsmod | grep iwl) and the involved firmwares (sudo modinfo iwlwifi) and note the observed behavior for each (frequent disconnection / degraded speed / OK speed). Maybe we could figure out a pattern...
Good luck
Good evening,
I gave myself a few days to get used to Kubuntu, but I ended up reinstalling Mint. I quickly tried two other distributions (Nobara, Bluestar), but in the end, nothing worked well regarding Wi-Fi. Plus, I've been using Mint Cinnamon since 17.1 and I like it.
As for my Wi-Fi, it's improved despite occasional but present slowness. However, I stayed on 21.2 and haven't upgraded to 21.3
Thanks again for the help
Hello repiere,
Thank you for your reply.
- The situation seems to have improved between your first message and this one, yet in both cases, you are on Linux Mint. This raises a question: what has changed between the two messages? The kernel version, the firmware, the Wi-Fi channel used?
- If you consider the issue resolved, can you mark the problem as resolved?
Thank you and good luck
Hello,
For mamiemando: yes, my situation has improved without me knowing why. Under Kubuntu, I had major slowdowns and found the PC slow compared to Mint. The other two distributions also had Wi-Fi issues. I also think I'm too used to Mint and it suits me well given what I do with my PC.
After the reinstallation of Mint, strangely, it worked much better. I tried updating the kernel (5.15.0-116) and it went through. However, contrary to my earlier posts, I stayed on version 21.2.
Regarding the Wi-Fi channel, I haven't changed anything. Really strange, I will provide feedback on the different commands you suggested if it can help.
For jns55: Thank you, I saw the info, but for now, I'm just going to "enjoy." Between my issues with Windows 11, the various tests, the different distributions, etc.... I've started reading again, it's good for me too ;-)
