WiFi unstable after 17.10 update












15















My wifi connexion is very unstable after the 17.10 update (from 17.04). I'm experiencing frequent disconnections (every 10~15min) a simple reconnection to the SSID solve the issue.



The card model is:



sudo lshw -class network

Edit:
The solution provided by Zsolt Rizsányi works, alternatively I choose to change my WiFi card by an Intel 8265 which have a better range and a better support of the 5G frequency.

  • The system log indicates that the wireless connection was dissociated from the access point deliberately. I don't have a specific recommendation aside from various driver module options suggested in answers to other questions about the unstable connections with the same WiFi module. See askubuntu.com/….

  • Yes like I said I have to disconnect / reconnect every 10 minutes.

    Have the same issue on an Asus UX303LA laptop. It's a clean install but ran 17.04 as well previously without any problems.

sudo lshw -class network

Edit:
The solution provided by Zsolt Rizsányi works, alternatively I choose to change my WiFi card by an Intel 8265 which have a better range and a better support of the 5G frequency.

  • The system log indicates that the wireless connection was dissociated from the access point deliberately. I don't have a specific recommendation aside from various driver module options suggested in answers to other questions about the unstable connections with the same WiFi module. See askubuntu.com/….

sudo lshw -class network

Edit:
The solution provided by Zsolt Rizsányi works, alternatively I choose to change my WiFi card by an Intel 8265 which have a better range and a better support of the 5G frequency.

I don't have a specific recommendation aside from various driver module options suggested in answers to other questions about the unstable connections with the same WiFi module. See askubuntu.com/….

I had the same issue and found a Debian bug report that also has a solution. See
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=879184



The solution is simple: install updated firmware from firmware repository provided by Qualcomm.



Detailed steps:




  1. Download https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/blob/master/QCA6174/hw3.0/board-2.bin and overwrite /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board-2.bin with the downloaded file.


  2. Download https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/blob/master/QCA6174/hw3.0/4.4.1/firmware-6.bin_WLAN.RM.4.4.1-00065-QCARMSWP-1 and overwrite /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/firmware-6.bin.


  3. Restart

This bug has been reported on launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1743279
If you're affected, please tell them in the bug report so they can fix the bug ASAP.



The firmware-6.bin file needs to be updated. Ubuntu currently ships version WLAN.RM.4.4-00022-QCARMSWPZ-2 and the fix for this issue was released in version WLAN.RM.4.4.1-00051-QCARMSWP-1, which means you need some version later than the latter for the card to work properly on >4.12 kernels.



As of today, this bug can be fixed by simply replacing the board-2.bin (not actually required but recommended) and firmware-6.bin files with what's currently in the upstream repository for linux-firmware, or by grabbing the firmware-6.bin from kvalo's repository for the proper version.



You can grab the correct version from kvalo's repository, which is guaranteed to always work (if you don't require the new board-2.bin as well).



These commands below will automate the replacement of the files:



$ sudo wget https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/raw/master/QCA6174/hw3.0/4.4.1/firmware-6.bin_WLAN.RM.4.4.1-00051-QCARMSWP-1 -O /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/firmware-6.bin


Alternatively, you can grab the files from the current state of linux-firmware
These commands below will automate the replacement of the files from what's upstream (notice these commands might work now but there's no guarantee they will work in the future because the repository's contents can change, although they will hardly ever break things like this).



$ sudo wget https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board-2.bin -O /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board-2.bin
$ sudo wget https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/firmware-6.bin -O /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/firmware-6.bin


Then reboot.

EDIT: The correct fix for this is to install the drivers manually and not change your wifi config on your network. At least until newer drivers are included in ubuntu.



A change to my wifi routers fixed this, I'm not sure if the APs or linux kernel/drivers are to blame here.



On OpenWrt/LEDA,
option wpa_group_rekey '0'



Needs to be added to the wireless "wifi-iface" configs. There is no option within the web config interface.



UPDATE: I set this to 3600 and the same issue happened again, I'm assuming there is a negotiation not taking place between the client and WAP. Still probably a Linux/driver bug. I set this to 3600 instead of 0 since it's theoretically more secure but no go, i'm assuming zero means it doesn't regenerate a key.

A fix has been released in the linux-firmware package (version 1.169.3 in 17.10 and version 1.157.16 in 16.04). Open a terminal (press Ctrl+Alt+T), and run the following:



sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

    I was with the same problem.
    Here how i resolve the problem:
    https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2261225



    Go to your modem wifi security settings.




    If WPA/WPA2 Group Key Update Period is zero or disabled, you must
    change it.



    Set WPA/WPA2 Group Key Update Period to 86400 as shown in the screenshot.



    Save your settings and reboot your modem/router.

    The firmware-6.bin file needs to be updated. Ubuntu currently ships version WLAN.RM.4.4-00022-QCARMSWPZ-2 and the fix for this issue was released in version WLAN.RM.4.4.1-00051-QCARMSWP-1, which means you need some version later than the latter for the card to work properly on >4.12 kernels.



    As of today, this bug can be fixed by simply replacing the board-2.bin (not actually required but recommended) and firmware-6.bin files with what's currently in the upstream repository for linux-firmware, or by grabbing the firmware-6.bin from kvalo's repository for the proper version.



    You can grab the correct version from kvalo's repository, which is guaranteed to always work (if you don't require the new board-2.bin as well).



    These commands below will automate the replacement of the files:



    $ sudo wget https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/raw/master/QCA6174/hw3.0/4.4.1/firmware-6.bin_WLAN.RM.4.4.1-00051-QCARMSWP-1 -O /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/firmware-6.bin


    Alternatively, you can grab the files from the current state of linux-firmware
    These commands below will automate the replacement of the files from what's upstream (notice these commands might work now but there's no guarantee they will work in the future because the repository's contents can change, although they will hardly ever break things like this).



    $ sudo wget https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board-2.bin -O /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board-2.bin
    $ sudo wget https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/firmware-6.bin -O /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/firmware-6.bin


    Then reboot.

    EDIT: The correct fix for this is to install the drivers manually and not change your wifi config on your network. At least until newer drivers are included in ubuntu.



    A change to my wifi routers fixed this, I'm not sure if the APs or linux kernel/drivers are to blame here.



    On OpenWrt/LEDA,
    option wpa_group_rekey '0'



    Needs to be added to the wireless "wifi-iface" configs. There is no option within the web config interface.



    UPDATE: I set this to 3600 and the same issue happened again, I'm assuming there is a negotiation not taking place between the client and WAP. Still probably a Linux/driver bug. I set this to 3600 instead of 0 since it's theoretically more secure but no go, i'm assuming zero means it doesn't regenerate a key.
