I shifted from windows to ubuntu for first time on HP r-15 laptop and dual booted ubuntu 14.04 LTS with windows 8.1.But i am having problem with wifi.I can connect to wifi without any problem but after a while it randomly stops working but it is showing that i am connected.When i try to reconnect,it looks like it is trying to reconnect but never do.Only solution for this is to reboot the laptop  and everything starts working fine for some time. I read some same questions like that but that are none of my use. I am a beginner in linux. Thanks for help in advance.Edit - this was the output of the command suggested by Pilot6  0a:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

I have installed Ubuntu 15.04 on my laptop with RTL8723BE Wi-fi card. But it is always disconnecting from network. I have tried echo "options rtl8723be fwlps=N ips=N" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf but that didn't helped. What can I do to prevent the wifi from disconnecting? If I upgrade to kernel 4.X, will it help?  ~$ lspci -knn | grep Net -A2  09:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

I have a Toshiba z830 with ubuntu 12.04. I could use without problems the DSL connection (I have no router, only a modem) at home until a couple of days ago:   It stopped to work when while connected with the DSL connection via CiscoVPN (to my workplace), I had to leave the laptop unattended for a while and I guess the laptop tried to go to suspend. When I came back there were many messages on a black screen (sorry, I cannot attach an image because of my low reputation) and the laptop was not responding. I had to reset the it.   After rebooting it, the internet connection didn't work as did before (no browsing, no ssh, no skype, etc) although it says it is connected. I only can browse, etc when I connect to CiscoVPN to the same place where I was connected when it crashed.  When I am physically where I connected via VPN (at work) I can use the wireless, which I am not able to use now anymore since the incident described above.  Some additional information:  martillu@ubuntu:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf   domain km.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp   nameserver 10.240.12.134   nameserver 10.240.12.135    martillu@ubuntu:~$ route -n   Kernel IP routing table   Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface   0.0.0.0 61.127.116.199 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0   61.127.116.199 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0   169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 ppp0    martillu@ubuntu:~$ ifconfig   eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr e8:e0:b7:2f:bc:5a   inet6 addr: fe80::eae0:b7ff:fe2f:bc5a/64 Scope:Link   UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1   RX packets:17620 errors:0 dropped:1 overruns:0 frame:0   TX packets:13168 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0   collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000   RX bytes:19452232 (19.4 MB) TX bytes:2568218 (2.5 MB)   Interrupt:20 Memory:c0700000-c0720000    lo Link encap:Local Loopback   inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0   inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host   UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1   RX packets:134 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0   TX packets:134 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0   collisions:0 txqueuelen:0   RX bytes:36316 (36.3 KB) TX bytes:36316 (36.3 KB)    ppp0 Link encapoint-to-Point Protocol   inet addr:219.167.252.226 P-t-P:61.127.116.199 Mask:255.255.255.255   UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1454 Metric:1   RX packets:17608 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0   TX packets:13129 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0   collisions:0 txqueuelen:3   RX bytes:18993590 (18.9 MB) TX bytes:2221195 (2.2 MB)    wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 9c:b7:0d:d9:21:f3   UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1   RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0   TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0   collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000   RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)    I think that: domain km.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp in the resolv.conf may be suspicious, since if I am not connected via CiscoVPN I do not know why it should appear "km.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp" (this is where I connect via VPN).

I've installed Linux Mint 18.2 on my ThinkPad E470. I can't connect to wifi as no wireless option shows up. I searched around and found an old post with the exact problems as mine - . But the solution to it is old and doesn't work for the new linux. And, lspci doesn't list my wifi adapter model. I also tried the solution given by Pilot6(Can't post the link as i have an upper limit on no. of links). But it doesn't work.

I have just moved back to Ubuntu from Windows 7 and a few months ago, I bought a NETGEAR WNA3100 wireless adapter because my old adapter had broken. I plugged in my adapter and it doesn't seem to work, I also used the windows 7 drivers for it and tried them on the program "Windows Wireless Drivers" and they don't seem to recognize the device. However I have heard you need XP drivers but I can't seem to find them on the internet nor find them on the CD.  Could anyone help me get my wireless adapter to work? Any help is greatly appreciate.   P.S I do have internet connection though I have to tether my phone to my computer and then connect my phone to my router.

I have some problems on my Asus notebook since I upgraded to Ubuntu 13.10:   Networking (wifi and lan) won't work after resume from suspend. I've seen many posts about this but they wouldn't work for me (adding iwlwifi to the list of loaded modules).   I couldn't find anything on that problem, and I don’t know where to look at to solve that. Is there any information I can add?

I have an old Compaq desktop that my children use to access the internet. The kids have repeatedly managed to severely infect the computer with viruses, and this latest round has been a doozy. A friend recently sold me on Ubuntu as a great windows replacement since it is not prone to viruses, so I decided to to give it a go.  I completely overwrote windows with Ubuntu 12.04 to get rid of the viruses, but I can not figure out how to make the wireless network dongle work. I have Googled the topic and tried to go through some of the solutions, but I don't know what I'm doing and I think I may be making things worse. Can someone help me with this? I know NOTHING about Linux and most of the instructions aren't written for someone like me.

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.

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! :)

Recently, I bought a Lenovo T470 with preinstalled Windows 10. I install Ubuntu 16.04 in parallel by USB boot. Wifi connections are not displayed as in many other posts.  My home directory is encrypted, in case it is relevant.  After checking, there no Wifi / network device available.  lspci -n -d 14e4   ( no response )  iwconfig enp0s31f6  no wireless extensions. lo         no wireless extensions.   Neither is any wireless driver displayed in settings.  I suspect that Ubuntu cannot recognize my wireless device. Is there any suggestion / more information needed to solve the problem?

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 been trying to get Ubuntu to run on my HP 15-an000nd. It has been a huge pain all the way.  My last (big) remaining problem is Wi-Fi.

Any help is greatly appreciated, Greetings.

I recently bought a new computer that has an Atheros AR9485 wireless NIC. So far it has been working ok except this one issue: Randomly (as far as I can tell) it will completely lose the internet connection. The indicator in the top panel will still say we are connected but the machine has no internet connectivity whatsoever.    I've been able to get it working again by simply disconnecting from my wireless AP and then reconnecting, but this is annoying. Is there anything I can do to make the connection more stable?    I have tried passing the nohwcrypt=1 to the driver, but that made it impossible to connect to any AP, it just infinity attempted to connect.  sudo modprobe -rfv ath9k sudo modprobe -v ath9k nohwcrypt=1   I've also tried upgrading my kernel to Linux 4.0 but the problem persists.

I'm testing Ubuntu 18.04 with my current desktopand everything works correctly except for the Wi-Fi adapter. I'm using a TP-LINK TL-WN8200ND version 2.  As requested , my wireless-info output is at .  I've tested Mint 19, Kubuntu and KDE neon, with similar results.  Is there an official driver that works out of the box?
