Hi, my internet seems unstable since a couple days. It was worked just fine for years. Maybe an update was responsible for it?
what I get:
using thinkpad L13 yoga.
internet chip: Meteor Lake PCH CNVi WiFi
how to troubleshoot?
There have been some other forum members that are have some internet problems.
Apart from the Arch related issues which we all know about I’ve also been having multiple connection issues for a few days.
It’s been really weird, one click opens a website, next time it doesn’t open, happening across a wide range of websites, not specific.
It got so bad I thought it was my router so I rebooted it, the problem persisted… sometimes sites opened, sometimes they didn’t. In the end I called my internet provider and they are sending me a new router.
So I just logged in today (no new router yet), and updated as I usually do and so far it seems the problem has gone away.
I’d begin troubleshooting with the LTS kernel to rule out if the bleeding-edge kernel has any unresolved quirks.
Over the years, this has occasionally been the case.
Thanks, tried that, the issue persisted. So far so good today though. 
I was having intermittent problems with the quad9 dns servers. When I switched away (to 1.1.1.1), the problems went away.
Hi mate, yeh I tried several dns providers, it made no difference. It’s been really weird, I’ve never had connection issues before. It was literally any website, Telegram, Heroic games launcher etc etc Sometimes they connected, sometimes they didn’t.
I have problems as well mostly with git cloning from GitHub (for installing neovim plugins). Everything went back to normal after I turned off wifi on my computer, and turned it on again. I know it sounds strange but that’s what I’ve also found in some GitHub issues.
Looks similar:
Seemingly random connection errors - bbs.archlinux.org
Definitely, well for me anyway.
Well, I’ve just had my first “Unable to connect” error since I changed DNS providers a few days ago 
That looks similar to my symptoms too. I won’t downgrade the kernel unless it starts occurring too often.
I’m running the current LTS and definitely having problems. Heavy load, light load, doesn’t seem to matter. Thought maybe it was our ISP as they recenty upgraded the building’s switch, but my wife’s laptop (Windows bleh hack spit) works fine.
The Archlinux forum link says there have been backports to the LTS kernel, so the offending patch must be a recent one. I’ll try downgrading and report back.
I can confirm that I have been having the same issues. Websites would randomly not load, but after a refresh will be fine. Does not seem to be browser or connection related.
Downgraded linux-lts to 6.6.10-1 and the problem seems to have gone away.
Thanks for the solution! But I am not as experienced. I have the same issues. Could you help me ant tell me how I downgrade to this version? Using downgrade script gives me only 3 newer versions.
I entered ‘sudo downgrade linux-lts’ and a menu appeared with all the previous versions that were available. I would think that any of the 6.6 variants would be old enough to not contain the problem code.
It really is old. 07.01.2024
Yes, I would not recommend using it long-term, just for troubleshooting purposes.
