I bought a new Asus n550jv laptop which has a Intel AC 7620 wireless card inside of it. I installed Arch Linux on it and noticed that I will be connected to my corporate wifi and every once and a while I will just lose all internet connectivity, but my wifi connection says it's fine. After enough times of connecting and restarting, sometimes it seems to work. I got it to randomly yesterday for almost 4 hours. I tried going to linux-wireless and downloading the newest iwlwifi driver I can use, version 22.24.8.0. Didn't seem to help. Also tired the solution in No more internet connection after update in 14.04 with Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 7260 and that didn't work as well. I have tried using different distros in some vain attempt to fix this: Arch Linux, Linux Mint 17, Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 12.10, and a new other Ubuntu variants.

The module parameters right now

sudo grep -H '' /sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters/*

Has anyone else had this problem? I have been trying to fix this for almost 2 months.

Ok so it didn't perfectly fix everything. But adding

options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1 bt_coex_active=0

to a /etc/modprobe.d file (you can name it whatever) even though I thought I tried this once already.
