Internet connection may or may not work on boot

General system EndeavourOS installation
1

I recently reinstalled, I previously had no such issues with any distro I tried (including endeavouros).
When I boot my computer 8 times out of 10 internet either doesn’t work or, if it does, the pink is absurdly bad.
A friend suggested I try using connman instead, that did not help.

When it connects to the internet well everything is fast and flawless.

Has anyone encountered a similar issue?

Bro, reading the first part in italian tripped me hardcore. I got so confused. I initially thought that you answered in italian because I posted in italian myself.

inxi -Naz would at least give a hint on the hardware and used driver…
darebbe almeno un suggerimento sull’hardware e sul driver utilizzato … :sunglasses:

Yeah you’re right but you know, I’m a dummy.

Si hai ragione ma sai, sono incapace.

You have Realtek 8168 hardware. I’d try uninstalling package r8168 and reboot. If that doesn’t help anything, you can re-install it easily (it should be in the package cache:
ls -l /var/cache/pacman/pkg/r8168*

unstable internet connection is exactly one indicator for the need of the older driver package r8168
