    Wifi stops working after about 5 minutes 16.04.1

    Thank you all in advance.

    Bought a Lenovo Ideapad 110 for the new year. I have installed 16.04.1. Everything seems to work except the wifi (ethernet works). After about 5 minutes it stops working. The wifi becomes unresponsive from the menu, and requires a full restart to work again, but to the same results. Everything I've found is for 14.04 and I do not really want to go backwards.

    I've been able to update the system and get the wifi script via ethernet.

    This was run after a fresh restart with wifi use only.

    Re: Wifi stops working after about 5 minutes 16.04.1

    You have a few things going on here that we can address. First, let's turn off power saving in Network Manager. From the terminal:
    Code:
    sudo sed -i 's/wifi.powersave = 3/wifi.powersave = 2/' /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf
    Next, set your regulatory domain explicitly. Check yours:
    Code:
    sudo iw reg get
    If you get 00, that is a one-size-maybe-fits-all setting. Find yours here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2 Then set it temporarily:
    Code:
    sudo iw reg set IS
    Of course, substitute your country code if not Iceland. Set it permanently:
    Code:
    gksudo gedit /etc/default/crda
    Use nano or kate or leafpad if you don't have the text editor gedit.

    Change the last line to read:
    Code:
    REGDOMAIN=IS
    Proofread carefully, save and close the text editor.

    Next, we see this little nightmare:
    SSID BSSID MODE CHAN FREQ RATE SIGNAL BARS SECURITY ACTIVE *
    <snip>
    RANDR <MAC 'RANDR' [AN2]> Infra 1 2412 MHz 54 Mbit/s 100 ▂▄▆█ WPA1 WPA2 yes *
    RANDR <MAC 'RANDR' [AN3]> Infra 1 2412 MHz 54 Mbit/s 94 ▂▄▆█ WPA1 WPA2 no
    RANDR <MAC 'RANDR' [AN4]> Infra 1 2412 MHz 54 Mbit/s 77 ▂▄▆_ WPA1 WPA2 no
    <snip>
    It is a nightmare for two reasons; first, three SSIDs with the exact same name. I suspect that part of the problem is that your device attempts to roam to another instance of RANDR. I suggest that you bind Network Manager to the preferred instance like this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/42558.../425617#425617

    Even better, if you have administrative control over these access points, is to rename them, something like RANDR1, RANDR2, etc.

    Further, although we haven't seen a scan, they have all the signs of being set to factory defaults which usually include WPA and WPA2 mixed mode and TKIP.

    Again, if you have administrative privileges, WPA2-AES is preferred; not any WPA and WPA2 mixed mode and certainly not TKIP. Second, if your router is capable of N speeds, you may have better connectivity with a channel width of 20 MHz in the 2.4 GHz band instead of automatic 20/40 MHz, although it is likely to affect N speeds. I also have better luck with a fixed channel, either 1, 6 or 11, rather than automatic channel selection. Also, be certain the router is not set to use N speeds only; auto B, G and N is preferred. After making these changes, reboot the router.

    After these changes, please report back.

    Thank you for the reply. I will give these a try.

    Also on the network side I am running a Ubiquiti Unifi network.

    Re: Wifi stops working after about 5 minutes 16.04.1

    I apologize for the late response, work got crazy and I was called out of town for a couple weeks.

    I ran everything per your response on the laptop. The wifi still goes goes out, but this time I can turn the wifi off and back on, and it will reconnect for a while longer. Then repeat.

    I checked my network's wifi settings and the only thing that I changed was moving it to 20 MHz. Everything else was already where you suggested it be.

    Here is the new network read out:

    Re: Wifi stops working after about 5 minutes 16.04.1

    Let's try turning off power saving at the driver level:
    Code:
    sudo -i
    echo "options rtl8821ae ips=0"  >  /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8821ae.conf
    exit
    And also in Network Manager:
    Code:
    sudo sed -i 's/3/2/' /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/*
    After a reboot, let us know if there is any improvement.
