Wifi drivers are installed properly and I am able to connect to wifi
but after sometime (less than a minute) there is no internet

I tried to ping 8.8.8.8 thinking it could be dns problem but ping fails.
It works fine in windows os

I don't know if other drivers are conflicting
If there are other installed drivers conflicting with the wifi drivers! how do i remove them?
lsmod |grep rtl

The wiki says the drivers are already included in the kernel, no need to install. I assume you meant to say you installed firmware. It may be just terminology but it means different things.I don't know if other drivers are conflicting

Check with
- Code: Select all
lsmod |grep rtl
It's unlikely but possible. If it connects but drops out it's probably something else.
I have exactly the same problem and still haven't managed to fix it. I just disconnect/reconnect in network mangler. Could be something as simple as the location of the device getting interference.

As root, create a file /etc/modprobe.d/8192cu.conf with the following contents:
options 8192cu rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=0
