Mates, I tried what @CariKahn told me but it still not working. Justin, could you please explain me how can I choose between WiFi channels?

[deleted], sorry for saying that, but I'm kind of relieved that I'm not facing this issue alone 😰

I also realized that it was not a hardware problem when I saw that my Windows 10 still working (dual boot). But I don't want to need to use it more than I was doing ☚ī¸

[deleted] ThinkPads usually have issues with the iwlagn/iwlwifi kernel modules, use lspci -vv | grep Kernel and find which kernel driver you use iwlagn or iwlwifi

echo "options XXXX 11n_disable=1" | sudo tee /etc/modules-load.d/XXXX.conf
sudo modprobe -rfv XXXX
sudo modprobe XXXX

    AngelKrauze It seems to be using iwlwifi:

    ❯ lspci -vv | grep Kernel
            Kernel driver in use: skl_uncore
            Kernel driver in use: i915
            Kernel driver in use: xhci_hcd
            Kernel driver in use: intel-lpss
            Kernel driver in use: intel-lpss
            Kernel driver in use: mei_me
            Kernel driver in use: pcieport
            Kernel driver in use: pcieport
            Kernel driver in use: pcieport
            Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel
            Kernel driver in use: i801_smbus
            Kernel driver in use: e1000e
            Kernel driver in use: rtsx_pci
            Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi           <------------------
            Kernel driver in use: nvme

    sudo modprobe -rfv iwlwifi Gives me an error since iwlwifi is still in use, will get back to you after a reboot.

    EDIT:
    Rebooting did not help :/

    AngelKrauze Hey, could you help me to fill the gap between the first and second command you suggested? Do I need to reload something?

    I would really appreciate your help 🙂

      [deleted] This user has been suspended. Hopefully another forum member can help you with the query, unfortunately, kernel modules are a bit beyond my level of understanding.

        Justin That's unfortunate, I hope so too.

        It would alredy help a lot of someone could help me diagnose the issue so that I could know where to look for solutions :/

        Right now I just know that an update must have broken it, because it has been working great for years and a clean install did not fix it (because then the same update broke it again).

          Justin Thank you for having a look!

          ❯ lspci | grep Network
          03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 8265 / 8275 (rev 78)

          I was having that kind of problems when I was linux mint user and also it was kernel related. That's why I always use lts kernels (my hardware is 8+ years old so I don't have problem with lts kernels). Try to install lts kernel and see will it resolve your problem.

          JoshStrobl Thank you, I was able to install and switch to 4.9.188-135.lts, I will see how well it works 🙂

          Update: After changing kernel to linux-lts, I have yet to experience the issue again. Thank you for your help!

          Good to hear! I'm going to marked this as solved in that case. Hopefully @crom5 will also take my advice 😃
