) and what make/model is your WiFi router? Also, are you running any other OSs and does it work in them? Lastly, have you checked your antenna? Frequently, dropouts are due to a loose or cracked antenna cable.lsb_release -a
anduname -a
. And the model number of your laptop. These all help us to find other reports of the issue.uname -a
will tell you that. And (b) You're using a lesser-known AzureWave 2161 WiFi adapter which is being picked up as a Realtek 8821AE. Either of these could be your issue.
