Hi, jip, I am using a USB WIFI stick.   Interestingly, I am 5 meters from my router and have 3 out of 4 bars on my WIFI indicator plugin, and when I sit 2 meters away from the router, I have 4/4 bars.  I would  not have thought that it would make any difference, so perhaps there is an issue around the USB WIFI, but I do not now how to check.

Anybody got any suggestions/ideas?
Cheers.

Heya!

Just to let you know. I have the same problem with a PC. It has a D-Link DWA-130 (rev A or B, not C).
It connects to WiFi and drops after a few seconds. I tried reverting to older Kernels to even 3.19 and still gets drop.
Computer is a Lenovo VFZ (P4-3.2) with Linux Lite 3.8 x64 fully updated. Dunno if your WiFi is USB but I think maybe the USB controller could be the problem if you can confirm?
LL says its a Ralink RT2800 USB Wireless Lan driver.
(The USB card works fine on another computer).

Using the ethernet card works fine... typing this post on it at the moment.



Cheers!

 :-[   Hi, I have a problem connecting to the internet with my WIFI.  For some reason my laptop will connect to the WIFI, and then drop it again, and then I cannot reconnect to the internet again.  Sometimes when I do manage to connect, the connection will time out (server taking too long to connect) and the connection will freeze.  This means that I have shut down my laptop, restart 10-15 minutes later, and hopefully it connects, but sometimes it just refuses to connect to the internet. This means that my internet connection is a very hit and miss, and sometimes I want to hit my laptop in frustration, and I won't miss!

I am running LL3.6 with the latest updates, and I have tried three different browsers (just in case Firefox is wonky) and Thunderbird, and regardless of which browser/email client, this problem crops up frequently, i.e nearly every day.  Sometimes I might be connected to the internet with no problems, and two hours later everything just freezes.

Can someone please help?

Many thanks in advance.

Ockert
