Internet timing out - ockies - 05-03-2018
:-[ Hi, I have a problem connecting to the internet with my WIFI. For some reason my laptop will connect to the WIFI, and then drop it again, and then I cannot reconnect to the internet again. Sometimes when I do manage to connect, the connection will time out (server taking too long to connect) and the connection will freeze. This means that I have shut down my laptop, restart 10-15 minutes later, and hopefully it connects, but sometimes it just refuses to connect to the internet. This means that my internet connection is a very hit and miss, and sometimes I want to hit my laptop in frustration, and I won't miss!
I am running LL3.6 with the latest updates, and I have tried three different browsers (just in case Firefox is wonky) and Thunderbird, and regardless of which browser/email client, this problem crops up frequently, i.e nearly every day. Sometimes I might be connected to the internet with no problems, and two hours later everything just freezes.
Can someone please help?
Many thanks in advance.

Heya!
Just to let you know. I have the same problem with a PC. It has a D-Link DWA-130 (rev A or B, not C).
It connects to WiFi and drops after a few seconds. I tried reverting to older Kernels to even 3.19 and still gets drop.
Computer is a Lenovo VFZ (P4-3.2) with Linux Lite 3.8 x64 fully updated. Dunno if your WiFi is USB but I think maybe the USB controller could be the problem if you can confirm?
LL says its a Ralink RT2800 USB Wireless Lan driver.
(The USB card works fine on another computer).
Using the ethernet card works fine... typing this post on it at the moment.
Cheers!

Hi, jip, I am using a USB WIFI stick. Interestingly, I am 5 meters from my router and have 3 out of 4 bars on my WIFI indicator plugin, and when I sit 2 meters away from the router, I have 4/4 bars. I would not have thought that it would make any difference, so perhaps there is an issue around the USB WIFI, but I do not now how to check.
Anybody got any suggestions/ideas?
Cheers.
