I am using Ubuntu 20.04 for 1 year now and recently stumbled on wifi issues.

When connected to my router the internet connection is very slow and often interrupted. I don't have this problem at all when connected to my android smartphone.

When I ping google (router connection) which usually works :

PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.
De 192.168.1.54 icmp_seq=1 Host unreachable
De 192.168.1.54 icmp_seq=2 Hôte de destination injoignable
De 192.168.1.54 icmp_seq=3 Hôte de destination injoignable

I tried this solution with no sucess Internet very slow when connected to router wifi

Output from sudo lshw -C network

I have also switched on/off all possibilities with 2.4GHz and 5GHz on my router, this does not help.

    There is nothing that can be done on software level. It can be a bad contact with antennas, etc.

  • Thanks for the feedback Pilot6. I can't quite understand why it isn't related to software. In fact : Via hotspot it is functionning today, it was previously functionning with strictly the same router and with the router sometimes it works for 5 minutes and then drops.

  • Does iwconfig show power management enabled? That can cause issues. It could also be related to the encryption used on wifi as some drivers don't like TKIP

  • Removing TKIP encryption on the router did not help either unfortunately. One piece of information I missed : sometimes a DNS type error shows up when the connection crashes.
