Wifi erratic and keeps disconnecting

http://crunchbanglinux.org – Hi all:Installed Crunchbang a few days ago and have had problems with wifi since. Sometimes it works okay and then will stop working. Sometimes that means it disconnects, but more often nm-applet says it is connected, but there is either no internet access or it's incredibly slow (shuttling back and forward between looking and waiting for a response for about 5-10 minutes, then downloading half a webpage and then just stopping completely). Has anyone else had this behaviour or found a way to fix the issue?I'm using an Acer Aspire One netbook if that helps.Thanks,Billy, (HowTos)

Stories similar to Wifi erratic and keeps disconnecting

I just installed Ubuntu 12.10 on my Acer Aspire One Netbook and everything works excellent except for the WiFi.

When I click on a network I get connected but only for about one minute and then it says 'Disconnected - You are offline'

It tries to reconnect and after a while it says 'Connection Established'

It's a school network which uses no authentication but a proxy (172.16.4.1:8080)

Can anyo

I am very new to Ubuntu (like yesterday!) and decided to run a dual boot of Ubuntu using the Windows installer. After some initial problems, it was installed successfully.

However, I am only connected to the internet for about two minutes time consecutively, as the WiFi connection seems to become dead then. Other devices on the same WiFi network can access the internet just fine at that time.

Ubuntu 12.04 wifi problem 28 weeks 5 days ago

I'm having trouble with wifi on my MSI U180 netbook using Ubuntu 12.04. When I boot up the netbook, it will connect to my router however after a few minutes the wifi will just stop working and not find or connect to any networks. The only way to get wifi connectivity back is to reboot the netbook however the connection will again only last a few minutes. A wired connection works fine.

One for the problem solvers amongst you.

I am connecting to the Internet through a Zyxel prestige 600 wireless router from my Acer Aspire One which is running Fedora 10.

It seems to have a hard time connecting, and then will randomly disconnect. When it's connected everything's fine and I get a great signal.
