Linux Wireless Woes

Hey community, It's been a while since I've been experiencing some persistent connectivity issues with my Linux system when trying to connect to a wireless network. Despite entering the correct credentials, the connection frequently drops, and I'm unable to browse or maintain a stable connection. I've tried troubleshooting by restarting the network service, updating drivers, and adjusting network settings, but the problem persists. Any guidance or insights from the community would be greatly appreciated. My system details are as follows: Linux distribution PenguinOS 4.2.1, wireless adapter FreedomLink 5000X. Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Hi @DavidJ209979 .

 

First, The Basics.  Are you well within range of whatever Access Point you're accessing?

         Is there anything in the area that generates an EM field?

         Are you getting a consistently strong Cell signal?  (Assuming that's what the FreedomLink device is),

         Are all wires and connectors in good shape and snug? (Wireless is only so wireless)

 

Pengwin is specifically designed to run with WSL.  Just in case that is your environment, here's a link to some troubleshooting tips,  It starts with some basics and gets to network stuff about 1/4 of the way in.
