loki 0.4.1 wifi dropping/bad signal problem possible solution
Hi everyone! so i installed elementary os yesterday (loki 0.4.1, kernel 4.10*) as i'm sick of win and what it does to my life :P Everything works for me exept wifi dropping constantly and when connected signal was without any bars (rly bad) so i googled a bit.
My laptop is HP Pavilion g6 with RT5390 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe adapter. note: this should work for other laptop models too! Solution i found is to update to newest kernel from here Now in detail, you find out what your os architecture is (32 or 64 bit in system settings>about next to OS version below logo), than enter top folder on this website above (newest kernel version number) and look for a section related to your OS (amd64 - 64bit OS / i386 - 32bit OS). Three files you need have specific words in name: *headers*_all.deb *headers*generic*.deb *image*generic*.deb so this is what i did for 64bit OS. Open terminal (super + T. Super key = Windows key) and download those three packages in temp folder with these two lines: Code:
$ cd /tmp Code:
http:// Code:
$ sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-4.13*.deb linux-image-4.13*.deb Code:
$ sudo apt-get remove linux-headers-4.13* linux-image-4.13* After that just reboot and voila. :) You can check it in system settings>about. Hope this helps someone. Cheers! |
