Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hi, as I said on the subject, no problems to connect to wifi, but from time to time (3-4 minutes) I see the message, that tell me the wifi has disconnected, and then reconnected. Some way to avoid wlan0 keeps disconnecting, disabled and enabled, I use Frisbee but with the other tools keep having the same problem, driver 8821CE.

Try disabling power saving mode

iw dev wlan0 set power_save off

In this command, wlan0 is your Wi-Fi adapter.
if you have a different adapter name, put your own instead of " wlan0 "

You can check the current power saving mode values like this:

iw dev wlan0 get power_save

└># iw dev wlan0 get power_save
Power save: on

if you have " on " run the command above iw dev wlan0 set power_save off

Is your WIFI signal strong?
If no.
That could be the problem.
Try moving closer to the WIFI device providing your WIFI signal.
Move computer or WIFI adapter, picking up the signal, to different location, to get a better signal.

If it is a 2.4GHZ signal.

When you do a search in your area for signals.
How many different ones does it find?
If many.
You could be using the same WIFI channel others are using.
So change the channel to one not used or only by a few.
The WIFI router should have a way to change the channel in it's settings.
