hi all,
For close to two years I have been suffering from an unstable/dropping wifi connection because of, I suppose, my network adapter (see for full details below). Like a pebble stone in your shoe, it was hard to live with, but bearable. I 'just' need to turn on/off airplane mode every so often and then wifi is back on. Still it is a horrific relationship, so I want a divorce.
Searching for, and applying solutions over the past two years haven't come up with any results. This apart from that your last name needs to be Einstein if you are going through these tutorials to try to solve the issue. Last night I woke up with this miraculous idea (Einstein indeed isn't my last name): An USB wifi adapter should bypass this whole issue!
So, what are your thoughts before I enter the operating theatre: Could this kind of device bypass both my issue AND the original Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 adapter? If yes, could you girls and boys recommend me (1) what to purchase exactly, (2) should I disable the QCA9377 then in Ubuntu and if yes, how? (3) Anything else I haven't overlooked?
my system details: Acer Aspire 3 A315-54-52UL, with Wireless Network Adapter: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 802.11ac, dual boot Windows 10 and Ubuntu 20.04
If this works, this would help out not only me, but all the other blister sufferers out there!
so: thanks in advance!
