| 1433038 | 2017-03-20 06:58:00 | Using Linux mint on an old core 2 duo machine and although the wi-fi connects and gets good signal strength the network connection keeps breaking. The wi-fi isn't dropping, it stays connected, but traffic just randomly stops working until I disconnect and reconnect. Tried Linux MINT serena and Kubuntu 16.04 LTS and they both have the same issue. Remix OS is fine though (Android for desktop), haven't tried windows. It's a TP-link TL-WN822N usb adapter and is generally rock solid on other windows based machines. Neither local network shares or internet access will work when this happens and it's very frequent. Any thoughts? |

| 1433041 | 2017-03-20 07:47:00 | Just googling looks like the default Linux drivers are crap, and the cause of the problems for many people. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1433042 | 2017-03-20 09:21:00 | And some of these Tplink adapters are crappy as too... Some work when they feel like it! | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
