Unable to connect to one WiFi hotspot

My building has a common WiFi hotspot. Since last ~10 days I am unable to access internet (it does for few hours sometimes only) using it with my Endeavour OS. It works well for me on other devices, also on Windows using same laptop.
Even more strange problem is that the internet works well with my mobile hotspot in the Endeavour OS.
Any help in troubleshooting this issue would be appreciated.

Depending on what you’re doing on EnOS, could it possibly be a bandwidth-issue on your common hotspot in the house?

I guess you need to put out some more specific details for anyone here to help troubleshooting this issue.

From EnOS connected to WiFi, please put out here from running the terminal command ip addr and format the pasted text in post editor as preformatted text ( </> symbol) in the post-editor.

Highly unlikely.

I guess you need to put out some more specific details for anyone here to help troubleshooting this issue.

Please let me know whatever is required. I am desperately looking to solve this.

Few details:

Ok. - So what are your hardware details, according to inxi -Fzxa as it might potentially be a chipset-driver issue?

Whatever happened, happened recently. It was working fine earlier. It could be ISP’s fault also, but for me to blame them, I should have a concrete argument.

A web-search for this:

wifi laggy on rtw_8822ce driver

…will provide some answers… maybe not a real solution for Linux, though.
It is a known issue, and the reason behind it seems a chipset, that has Wifi and Bluetooth on one chip.

Can you get a different Wifi card, or USB?

Firstly, I appreciate that you are looking into this.

With the same embedded chip, it always worked, just that recently something happened. Even now it is working flawlessly with my mobile hotspot (different wifi with the same chipset, same driver and same OS).

I even tried downgrading the kernel as well, when this happened. Also, tried using the latest kernel instead of lts, still no luck.

Like I said, you could try various things, as given on the web.
For example, this one, or follow this discussion.

Also you could try to see if the behviour changes, when you shut the laptop completely down and disconnect it from power (incl. battery) for min. 30 seconds. And then reboot it afterwards.

(I do not think it is related to your provider at all, since connecting to your mobile hotspot uses a much smaller wifi bandwidth through your mobile phone, as when compared to a direct wifi connection with the provider from your house. - Like I said, it is a well known issue in the Linux world with this wifi-chip.)

Lastly, looking if there was an update to the wifi driver in your logs, 8-12 days ago and if yes downgrade the driver.

Good luck!

The IP address for youtube is:
142.250.114.93

Try
ping 142.250.114.93

If that works and
ping www.youtube.com
does not work, then you have DNS problems in either your computer or the common wifi hotspot.

I believe I have found the solution.
Possibly it is systemd-resolved service which was disabled (also not running by default). Starting/enabling it solved the issue for me.
I have few follow up questions though, why it possibly got disabled?
Possibly it got disabled with an update. But, then why?
Is it supposed to be disabled?

One guess of mine is you may have tried DNS proxy clients, which require systemd-resolved to be disabled like https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dnscrypt-proxy#Disable_any_services_bound_to_port_53

Glad you got it working.

If you consider this Topic as being solved, please do the following.
Go to the post that most helped you solve the problem, or lead you in the right direction.

Go to that post, click on the three horizontal dots, then click on the “Solution” button.
This will mark the Topic as solved and may help someone with a similar problem later.

I don’t remember trying DNS proxy clients. I will keep an eye on the daemon, will update here if I find the root cause.

Done.

Thank you EnOS Team! Appreciate the help!
