I installed 18.0.4 LTS as well as rtl8723de drivers  The drivers work only when the wifi device is just close to the laptop..  When the wifi device is even slightly away the laptop cannot connect to the wifi device and errors ut saying "Connection Failed Activation of Network Connection failed"   Another laptop with Windows OS right next to this Ubuntu loaded laptop works fine and connects to the same wifi with 'full' signal strength  I called HP Technical support - HP declined to provide any driver support on laptops loaded with anything other than Windows.  Please help what should I do in order to make my new laptops work.   Thank you.

My Wi-Fi connection seems to be very weak and the range is very low. It drops by two bars if I just move to the next room and by two if just step outside.  The speed is also not fast as compared to what I get from the router on my desktop .  My laptop is a HP laptop with RTL8723de module. Can anyone help me in bumping up my Wi-Fi speed?

I'm preparing for a trip where I can't bring my desktop, so I recently broke out my trusty old laptop (Dell Latitude E4300) to get it ready for the trip. Previously, I had Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on the machine and there were no problems with wifi or the computer in general. My original problem came when I tried to upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04, which failed halfway through and long story short: I couldn't get it to work. I then installed Lubuntu 14.04 (It's a moderately old laptop and I had never tried Lubuntu, so why not) and it's going great, except, I can't connect to my wifi and since this will be my only method of access on my vacation, I really need to fix it. I'm kinda at a cross roads since I've never had this problem with this laptop. Any help would be great.   The output of "lspci -nvn | grep -i net" Says the wifi card is a "Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:432b] (rev 01)"  I have looked at many other similar questions, but they're all very old and none have helped. Sorry if you guys get this a lot.  EDIT: Here is the link to the requested diagnostics (See comment by user "wild man"_

I've noticed a lot of people having similar issues with finding a driver for NETGEAR A6100 AC600 WiFi Adapter.  I've been struggling with a lot of the threads and drivers posted on github. Many of the ones listed are referencing a rtl8812au driver while I believe my particular one is a rtl8811au.  I ran the wireless info script that is floating around and these are my results      I did get this driver to make and install but it doesn't seem to do anything.  I still don't have any wireless connections popping up.  Any help on this matter would be much appreciated..

I plan to install Ubuntu soon on my PC. I currently use a TP-LINK TL-WN822N wireless adapter. I want to know if it will work without additional setup.

I am running Ubuntu 14.04.01 LTS on an Acer V Nitro laptop which has an Intel Dual Band Wireless 7265 controller. The driver version is 3.13.0-45-generic with firmware 22.24.8.0. The connection is stable for 30-40 minutes and after, it disconnects. Are necessary several reconnect attempts, sometime a restart in order to reconnect to the WiFi network.   Did anyone face this issue with this controller? What do you recommend to diagnose the issue?

I'm new to ubuntu and i'm having all sorts of problems,   My wifi connection is super slow and intermittent, sometimes it randomly disconnects so I was wondering how do I go about to update the drivers for the adapter?  Also, it keeps blinking when transfering data which I find extremely annoying, I have read and tried diferrent solutions about editing the wlan.conf file and adding options iwlwifi led_mode=1 but it doesn't work for me, and I'm guessing it has something to do with the driver, I feel like i'm missing a line or using a setting for an intels adapter rather than an atheros.  I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 64 bits in a HP Pavilion DV7-1245dx.   *-network                       description: Wireless interface        product: AR242x / AR542x Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express)        vendor: Qualcomm Atheros        physical id: 0        bus info: pci@0000:09:00.0        logical name: wlan0        version: 01        serial: 00:24:2b:21:93:d7        width: 64 bits        clock: 33MHz        capabilities: pm msi pciexpress msix bus_master cap_list ethernet physical wireless        configuration: broadcast=yes driver=ath5k driverversion=3.13.0-29-generic firmware=N/A ip=192.168.2.7 latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11bg

I'm trying to connect my desktop (running 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04) to an Airport Extreme Base Station by using an ASUS USB-N13 wireless adapter.  I plugged it in, turned on the desktop, and the adapter was immediately recognized by the system. I found my home network listed in the available networks, typed my password (with the correct encryption) and hit connect. After that, the wireless icon just flashes (propagates? emits?) indefinitely, and every couple of minutes the "Wireless Authentication Required" box pops back up.   I don't know what to do. I've seen some solutions talking about an "rt2xxx" or "rt3xxx" driver or chipset. I don't know exactly what it is, but when I typed lsmod | grep rt I got:  parport_pc rtl8192cu rtl8192c_common rtlwifi mac80211 cfg80211 parport   I'm pretty much lost. Please AskUbuntu, what do?

I recently got a lenovo Y40 laptop and after i installed ubuntu 14.04 (also in the live usb) Wireless doesn't work. It says that it is disabled by hardware switch, however the hardware switch doesnt work (its intention is to put on airplane mode but does nothing when pressed in ubuntu) wireless works in windows and the BIOS has it enabled.

Please note that this question is specific to Intel WiFi adapters.  My laptop is an HP ENVY with an Intel AX201 Wifi Adapter. I've dualbooted Ubuntu with Windows.  AX201 WiFi adapter is not supported by latest Ubuntu 18.04 version, because Ubuntu 18.04 comes with Linux Kernel 5.0, whereas support for AX201 comes built-in in Linux Kernel 5.2+. Canonical claims that Ubuntu 18.04 will get Linux Kernel 5.3 sometime next year. However, I wont be able to wait that long.  I tried downloading and installing Kernel 5.2.14, but I cant go beyond Grub: I get the error:     error: you need to load the kernel first.   Other option is to download the Intel Backport Driver, which I tried. That didn't seem to work either. As per the tutorials, I've restarted frequently, but that didnt work either.  Also I'm not quite sure if Intel IWLWIFI Backport driver supports AX201 in the first place.  WiFi works while I'm booted in Windows.  What should I do?  Thanks in advance!  UPDATE  I tried out @Pilot6's answer, and it worked. Thanks!  I have one last question: I've read that if you upgrade the Kernel beyond what Ubuntu 18.4 supports, its kinda unsafe (which I read as prone to system crashes).  I dont want system crashes because I have only one partition (root) for Ubuntu, and any crash would likely mean all my data is lost. One method forward would be to split my Ubuntu partition into root and home.  So if I want to access WiFi on my device safely without risking any crashes, what should I do?  My understanding of Ubuntu and Linux may be wrong as they are built on forum answers only. Please correct me if Im wrong anywhere.

So I just started using linux/ubuntu today and I've been getting problems with my wifi, ive tried the solutions on this page:  When im really close to my router, its fine, i can see wifi signals, but when i go just a few steps back it disappears right away. Im using the latest version of ubuntu 17.10  Any suggestions would be nice! :)

I have ubuntu installed as the sole OS on a T420. Before this I had installed the #! distro (and Xubuntu before that) and wireless worked seamlessly on either. My home hotspot shows up but when I click on it tries for a while before disconnecting.  Before going into the problem further, I wanted to double check that I entered the wifi password for my home network correctly. I went to Edit Connections >> Wi-Fi Security and changed the key, but it is still not able to connect. So I think the password is definitely correct. I don't understand why it can't connect now.

Been having some issues with the STA drivers from bcrmwl-kernel-source. While the drivers do function, they only seem to function after putting the laptop to sleep, by either closing the lid, or manually putting it to sleep, and waking it up. The laptop here is a MacBookPro7,1 (Mid 2010 13-inch MacBook Pro), running Ubuntu 17.04.  While the issue isn't bad enough to deter me from using the laptop, it is not an elegant solution, and I believe that there can be a solution found somewhere.  For reference, here are the outputs from the Wireless Info script for both before and after: , . Hopefully these are of some use. If you need additional information about the computer, I will be happy to answer.
