Working with old cards can be a gamble.A quick web search lists the model to 2010, I may be even older.It seemed to work fine on Ubuntu 14.04, Kernal 3.xSince 16.04 kernel 4.x, they are mention of some problems, maybe that have not been completely fixed since then.Maybe it worked better in some kernels... or maybe the card is just old and flaky.Still, nice to know you found the source of the issue. We'll see you in the forums! \( " )/
I think you meant WPA2-PSK and not WPA3-PSK as that is not an option.As for the router, it was given with my Wi-Fi setup and belongs to my ISP. So, I don't know what model it is or which company it belongs to. But most probably it is not that old as I got the new Wi-Fi setup few months ago.
I added your output to the tread as code tags for easier reading.... Atheros I too have one in my laptop - its stable (no disconnects) but speed fluctuates.... Mine is a little different Somethings to try Set your Wi-Fi to WPA2-PSK (if not) Or look for a USB adapter - Realtek chip or a Panda https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/network/network-speeds-ath9k-atheros/msg47705/#msg47705
Yes, WPA3-PSK is a good idea.Also, an update to the router maybe? Again, if you have an old D-Link router, change it. ... erm, what is your router exactly?

If you have hotspot on your cellular phone try that first. Second, if you have ethernet available, that works best because ethernet is more secure and realible than wifi.
So, I am pretty new to the OS and when I started using it, I encountered problems with the connection and slowly the problems started growing worse. Now, I cannot connect to the internet.When I faced this problem, I simply rebooted the PC and it seemed to kept working. But now, even rebooting the system isn't solving the problem.The problem is that when I boot up the PC, it automatically disconnects the network and when I try to reconnect, it doesn't let me connect. I know that the network adapter is working but it is still not connecting to the network.Please help me with this issue.Thanks.
