Internet Stops working frequently

[Intebat]

Hello There,i recently installed linux lite on my usb (not the live) and just connected to wifi,the strange part is that my internet stops working every few minutes and comes back again,my wifi is still connected but it's the internet which is not working,this is really frustrating me and i look forward for a solution to this issue,thanks.

Hi!

If you have other computers or devices connected to the same internet, do they work correctly?
I would suggest rebooting your modem/router as a first step.
Is only the computer with Linux Lite is affected, it could be the Wi-Fi driver or card itself.
If you have another OS on the same machine that works OK, the driver then could be the cultpri and needs to be changed or updated.

Hi,

I have the same problem with Lite 32-bit on an Early 2006 MacBook Pro, be it in Ethernet or WiFi. Seems that after a while, the OS powers down the network cards to save power (?), the way it does in Windows unless you tell it not to. Happens on AC too, so I could be mistaken.

It's infrequent in my case, but when it happens, I can't find connectivity back, and I have to reboot.

One other thing, that might or might not be related: I can connect to my phone's hotspot (Android 7) or, as is the case right now, to the hotspot on my Windows Server 2019 PC, but not to the house modem, although they all share the same security protocols (WPA2-Personal).

Must be a setting somewhere, but i haven't found it.
