Hello everyone,
I use Pop OS 22.04 on my Asus laptop and have an issue with wifi. I installed Pop as soon as I received it. The laptop has Realtek wifi and it did not immediately work with Pop. I found about the third party RTL drivers you can install and that has worked great for a while. After a few kernel updates since installing the wifi no longer worked. I rebooted to the older kernel and everything went back to normal.
Since that point there have been more kernel updates and I keep booting to an older kernel. The wifi still won’t work if I go to the latest and now it’s getting unstable even when I boot to the older one. Sometimes it will just drop and won’t connect without a reboot while other times if I just go into airplane mode and then back out it reconnects.
My last laptop had Realtek as well and I had the exact same problems in Linux Mint. I should have done more research prior to buying and made sure I had different wifi hardware. I also should have tested in live mode before installing. Lessons learned. Anyway, does anyone have advice on how to get things working correctly again? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
