    We see this in your results:

    The result of running the script with the wireless radio turned off by the hardware switch or key combination is that the wireless device can't report some valuable clues that we need in order to help.

    Please turn the wireless radio on and run and post:

    Re: ubuntu 18.04 wifi flapping every other minute constantly

    Hi,

    I have attached the new file( by running script again), although my wifi hardware switch is always ON, but still somehow it is being hardware reset internally. I was able to get a small interval between two wifi flap events where I ran this script and collected this output.(as my wifi is flapping constantly)

    The result of running the script with the wireless radio turned off by the hardware switch or key combination is that the wireless device can't report some valuable clues that we need in order to help.

    Please turn the wireless radio on and run and post:

    Code:
    sudo iwlist wlp2s0 scan

    This "space" is too much as well. What is that config about?

    Your wireless may be dropping because of power management; that is, the feature where the card partially powers down to save battery power during periods of inactivity and then, ideally, powers back up seamlessly when activity resumes. Let's disable power saving to see if it helps. From the terminal:

    Code:
    sudo sed -i 's/3/2/' /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/*
    Your wireless may be dropping because the channel to which it was connected has suddenly changed.

    Please check the settings in the router. 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 recommend 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.

    Your wireless may be dropping because there are two wireless access points with the same name and password. This is typical when you have a 2.4 gHz segment and a 5 gHz segment of the same router. Your wireless may be roaming, looking for a better connection. If this is the case, I suggest that you rename the access points; something like myrouter2.4 and myrouter5.

    After making these changes, reboot the router.

    Next, I recommend that your regulatory domain be set 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:
    sudo nano /etc/default/crda
    Change the last line to read:

    Code:
     REGDOMAIN=IS
    Proofread carefully, save and close the text editor.

    Is there any improvement?

    Hi ,
    Thanks for your reply.I am not sure , but I believe I tried to make a Tap0 interface back some time ago for some testing purpose, but I am not using it. I can remove it if it can cause any issues with my wireless hopefully ?

    Re: ubuntu 18.04 wifi flapping every other minute constantly

    Hi Thanks for your reply, I have implemented the power saving solution recommended as above and monitoring the wireless performance, hopefully it should correct the flapping issue.
    I will post my performance observation once done.Thanks.
