Wireless connection gets randomly dropped out every 10 minutes on Inspiron 15 Gaming 7567












3















I have an Inspiron 15 Gaming 7567 with Lubuntu and the wifi stops working while still connected to a wifi network. I have tried to update the kernel but it did not help.



Details



The connection transports no information despite still being connected to the router. The router supports other devices/OSes without problems (Android, iOS, Windows, etc). I used to have a different hardware with the same Lubuntu and I didn't have this problem.



When I have the problem the ping behavior is:



# Trying to ping google.com to see if there still connection.
From 192.168.1.34 icmp_seq=8413 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.1.34 icmp_seq=8414 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.1.34 icmp_seq=8415 Destination Host Unreachable


This gets temporarily solved with:



nmcli radio wifi off ; sleep 5s ; nmcli radio wifi on


Sometimes the connection gets totally lost and I have to reboot the computer in order for it to work again.



Vendor (lack of) support




  1. Vendor website lists no drivers for this product.


  2. Post on vendor website received poor support. I was blocked from posting there after the few posts I made.

          Solved my problem with a slight modification. Namely:



          Backup your existing folder: /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377



          tar -cvf ~/lib_firmware_ath10k_QCA9377.tar /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377


          Update your system and install git



          sudo apt-get update
          sudo apt-get install git


          Clone the binaries



          git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware.git


          Create the folders if they don't exist



          sudo mkdir /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377
          sudo mkdir /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0
          cd ./ath10k-firmware/QCA9377/hw1.0


          Slight modification: empty the destination folder



          sudo rm -rf /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0/*


          Copy the necessary files



          sudo cp *  /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0
          cd /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0
          sudo mv firmware-5.bin_WLAN.TF.1.0-00267-1 firmware-5.bin


          Reboot your system.



          The modification was that there was a file not overwritten by the cp command and that may have caused problems even after I tried the fix for the first time.



          The checksums of my folder as of 2018-08-28 are:



          sha1sum /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0/*
