Hi all,
I’m experiencing an annoying issue reliably connecting to my home network and was hoping you all would be able to help.
Please let me know if I need to provide any additional info - I’m clearly pretty new to this.
Problem/Context:
-
After starting the laptop, it usually doesn’t automatically connect to my home network (sometimes it does though). It takes around 5-15 minutes for my home network to show up and to connect. Once connected, everything is fine.
-
I noticed my own home network isn’t the only network that’s not showing up. When creating a hotspot on an iPhone and Pixel, those also aren’t showing up (but are showing up on my MacBook etc.). Also, some of my neighbors’ networks aren’t showing up either (but are showing on my Pixel phone).
-
I experienced the same issue a few weeks ago when I was using Fedora on the same laptop. I then switched to EndeavourOS and did not have any issues at all. Though I forgot to encrypt my hard drive, so I reinstalled EndeavourOS, encrypted the hard drive, and am now having the same issues again from above.
Hardware:
- Thinkpad T14s
- Intel Alder Lake-P PCH CNVi
Everything seems to be up to date (updates, firmware updates, etc.)
Thanks a ton!
