I have a mesh wi-fi network (Nighthawk AX1800) and the PC is connected to one of the routers via ethernet. I’ve tried bringing one of the other routers closer, flushing DNS, restarting wpa_supplicant, and doing what this person did to solve it: Wifi disconnects and reconnects frequently - #7 by ricklinux
None of my other devices have this happen, notably my phone while I have it in the same room as the PC, so I think this is a problem with the PC specifically.
Not sure i understand. If you PC is connected via ethernet what is running on WiFi that you are having the problem with?
The PC randomly disconnects and then reconnects after a few moments, and does this about a dozen times per hour.
This wasn’t a problem until a week ago, though I built this PC at the start of last month.
Okay but you said it’s connected to ethernet? I see that those mesh pods have ethernet ports so is the pc connected via WiFi? I don’t know how they work as i am unfamiliar with this product. So does the PC have a WiFi card and connects to one of the mesh pods via WiFi? If so what is the hardware on the pc?

Yes, when I said the PC is connected to a router I should have said it’s connected to one of the mesh pods. I went ahead and tried disconnecting the mesh pod and placed it on the other end of the room, so it’ll be just a bit closer to the next pod, but am still getting the same problem.
Network:
Device-1: Qualcomm WCN785x Wi-Fi 7 320MHz 2x2 [FastConnect 7800]
vendor: Foxconn driver: ath12k_pci v: N/A modules: ath12k pcie: gen: 3
speed: 8 GT/s lanes: 1 link-max: lanes: 2 bus-ID: 0e:00.0
chip-ID: 17cb:1107 class-ID: 0280
Device-2: Intel Ethernet I225-V vendor: Gigabyte driver: igc v: kernel
pcie: gen: 2 speed: 5 GT/s lanes: 1 port: N/A bus-ID: 0f:00.0
chip-ID: 8086:15f3 class-ID: 0200
Okay now i understand. These are just extenders providing WiFi. It’s connecting using Qualcomm WCN785x WiFi 7.
Are you connecting using 5 Ghz?
Edit: Are you also using WPA3 Enhanced Open for connection? Or WPA2?
Edit: Just asking because the nighthawk 1800X is WiFi 6
The network settings just says the supported frequencies are 2.4 GHz/5 GHz / 6 GHz, and the security is WPA2.
The WiFi card is using ath12k module. Fairly new. I’m not sure if it’s a power save setting? Or something else?
Edit: Maybe you can check when WiFi disconnects rfkill
Also maybe check modinfo ath12k
Edit: You could also check sudo dmesg to see if it shows anything when disconnecting.
This seems interesting:

I think you’re right that it’s a power save setting, the archwiki also says it could be aggressive power saving but I’m not sure how to turn off that feature. Here’s a more verbose copy/paste from dmesg:

@wifirandodisc
Are you dual booting with Windows?
No, I’m not.
Could you show the contents of file
/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
Edit: I see the wifi authentication is failing in your log. Are you sure the password is OK?
The .conf file just says this:
"# Configuration file for NetworkManager.
“# See “man 5 NetworkManager.conf” for details”
And I’m certain the password is right.
You could try using iwd for the wifi connection. Add the following lines to file
/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf:
[device]
wifi.backend=iwd
and reboot.
If that doesn’t help, remove the added lines and reboot.
It’s connected, though I had to bring the mesh node back to my desk so I could use the ethernet cable, as the wireless connection wouldn’t work. I’ll just play Deep Rock Galactic for a bit and see if it happens again, and get back to you. Thanks!
I’m preeeetty sure this worked, though it might also be that I just turned off the wireless connection.
This is outside the scope of what I asked, but now THIS is happening, which I believe is a coincidence:
[ 141.448167] warning: `wine_sechost_se’ uses wireless extensions which will stop working for Wi-Fi 7 hardware; use nl80211
That looks like a warning only.
But if you start using wifi 7, this may need some kernel parameters, but that may also depend on your hardware and router.
