    wifi times out after every five minutes only in ubuntu 20.04 works fine in windows.

    I tried setting power management off
    setting the wifi.powersave = 2
    disabling ipv6 settings
    changing router channel from auto to 9
    I also tried reinstalling ubuntu and updating kernals this seems to be a common problem with
    QCA9377.

    Code:
    lspci -knn | grep Net -A3
    Code:
    01:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [168c:0042] (rev 31)
        Subsystem: Dell QCA9377 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [1028:1810]
        Kernel driver in use: ath10k_pci
        Kernel modules: ath10k_pci
    02:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller [10ec:8168] (rev 0c)

    I don't have this network adapter but I will give what pops to mind:

    - I would not use channel 9. Recommend you use only channels 1, 6, or 11. Also recommend you use a Wifi Analyzer app on a smart phone to determine which of those channels is least congested.

    - The wifi APs and routers I am familiar with have a Power Save setting. You could toggle that to see if it makes a difference.

    - Recommend setting a fixed 20 MHz bandwidth for 2.4G.

    - If your Power Level is set to 100% and you are close to the router, you could try turning the power level down.

    - Recommend Security be set to WPA-2 Personal with AES.

    - Recommend you try different Mode settings such as: 802.11n only, 802.11 g only, or mixed to see what happens.

    - Look at and research the other wifi settings that your router has and test the settings.

    - Recommend you use "Forget Connection" for all current interfaces so you can start fresh each time you changes settings in the router.

    Good luck.

    Lets see
    Code:
    iwconfig
    ifconfig -a
    iwlict chan
    sudo iwlist scan
    dmesg | egrep 'ath|firm|country'
    Which country do you live?

    hi Saaim, I am having exact same issue for already more than a year and a half... Ubuntu 20.04 with QCA9377. Have you found a solution? thanks!
