The wifi connection disconnects randomly

[elias333]

Hi, I'm new to using Debian. I have a:
RCA 2-in-1 tablet
model W101SA23T1
Intel Atom x5-Z8350 processor
2 GB of RAM
30 GB of storage
Windows 10 32-bits from the factory.

PROBLEM: The Wi-Fi connection disconnects randomly, it can go half an hour with a stable connection but sometimes it disconnects every 5 minutes. In Windows the Wi-Fi connection worked fine but the overall performance was bad.

Solutions I tried but they didn't work:
- first installation as the only system debian-12.0-amd64-netinst.iso.
- reinstall it again debian-12.5.0-amd64-netinst.iso.
- third installation debian-12.6.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso.
- disable bluetooth.
- install gnome alongside xfce.

I currently have Debian 12.6 as the only operating system, with only xfce.

I've reviewed the first 15 posts on this forum about disconnecting wifi, but I didn't understand some of them and others don't have directories to modify network settings.

What could I do? Thank you very much for taking the time to read this.

Hello,

PROBLEM: The Wi-Fi connection disconnects randomly, it can go half an hour with a stable connection but sometimes it disconnects every 5 minutes. In Windows the Wi-Fi connection worked fine but the overall performance was bad.

What is your wireless network interface adapter ? You can use the command:

Code: Select all

lspci -vnn -d ::0280

or the command:

Code: Select all

inxi -Na

What is your installed network manager ? You can use the command:

Code: Select all

apt list ifupdown network-manager connman

What is the ifupdown configuration ? You can use the command:

Code: Select all

cat /etc/network/interfaces

What is the WiFi neighbourhood ? You can check with the command:

Code: Select all

nmcli dev wifi list

Hello,

In previous message, no network device was detected by the lspci and inxi programs.

What is the output of lsusb command ?

[elias333]

Sorry for replying so late, here is the lsusb command.

Code: Select all

Hello elias333,

Unfortunately, I cannot understand what wireless device is using your computer.

Perhaps you can supply the full output of the following command (as normal user):

Code: Select all

inxi -Faz

Hello,

For some reason it only detects that a wlan0 interface (a wireless interface) is configured, but it cannot collect any info on the used kernel module (driver):

Code: Select all

Network:
  Message: No PCI device data found.
  IF-ID-1: wlan0 state: up mac: <filter>

In the previous commands I asked you, neither lspci nor lsusb detected the wireless interface device.

Do you have any idea what kernel module drives the wireless interface?

[elias333]

Hello, thank for
I have only been able to identify the kernel modules responsible for the wifi connection.
Module Size Used by
r8723bs 577536 0
cfg80211 1146880 1 r8723bs

It seems that my processor is a System on a Chip. It is not common. Therefore there is no specific driver in Linux and only the kernel module is the one that can make the wifi connection.

Try rfkill, you might have to install it first.

Hello,

The kernel module r8723bs is in the staging tree of the kernel (more work is needed) [1][2].

The driven device is connected to the computer's hardware via the sdio bus (secure data bus) [3], and this is probably the reason why it does not appear in the list of devices reported by the lspci and lsusb commands. By the way, this is the first time that I have come across a device like this.

These are the kernel module details and parameters (parm):

The values for many of the above parameters can be derived from the source code [4].

Firmware installation is probably required and is available via the firmware-realtek package [5]: is it installed?

Hope this helps.

Hello, I tried the sudo rfkill list command and it shows me that the Bluetooth and WiFi devices are active and not blocked. I also tried blocking the WiFi device and then unlocking it and nothing changed.

I also tried installing these drivers (firmware-iwlwifi, firmware-realtek, firmware-realtek-rtl8723cs-bt) and after installing them I lost my WiFi connection and Bluetooth and now I can't access the internet. I will try to install the full system again, then I will keep trying.

Hello, I have the Realtek firmware and the settings I have made only cause the random WiFi disconnection to last 6 seconds.

I then changed information in a few files to try to fix the error:

I commented out each line in the file /etc/network/interfaces

I added this information to the file /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

Code: Select all

[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile

[ifupdown]
managed=true

[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no

Then I made the wlan0 interface not turn off for power saving with the command: iwconfig wlan0 power off

and in the file /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ within my connection file I added this so that it tries to reconnect to the network as many times as necessary.

Code: Select all

[connection]
autoconnect-retries=0
