WiFi Internet drops randomly on Asus E200HA running Ubuntu 18.04LTS
by Wilbur-E200HA from LinuxQuestions.org on (#53Z73)
I'm having an issue with a E200HA running Ubuntu 18.04LTS. Recently my wifi has started dropping at random times. I've looked for answers and tried:
using the original firmware drivers from the install disk
using the latest firmware drivers from github
using the firmware drivers from ubuntu 16.04LTS
using a different browser
every different combination of board.bin, board-2.bin, firmware-5.bin and firmware-6.bin, old and new versions
setting a static ip address,
a complete reinstall of Ubuntu
yet the problem won't go away. I didn't have this problem when the machine had Windows 10 on it, nor for the first couple of years with Ubuntu.
Also the output of ping varies - sometimes it's "network is unreachable", sometimes "Destination host unreachable"
Sometimes I get a question mark in the taskbar, sometimes a blank space, but it can still detect the network.
I don't think it's the router - I'm running other machines with different OS (Mac, W10, Android and Mint19) and have no issues with those.
Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated
