I switched my D-Link DIR-655 wireless router from WPA2 authentication to WEP authentication. I believe this also disabled wireless N protocol since I don't think N supports WEP (how can I check in Ubuntu what wireless protocol I am using, n, g, or b?). Since I made the switch, I have had no wireless dropouts for 2 days. Before I made the switch, I would have 2 to 5 wireless dropouts per day.
I think this intermittent network drop out issue may be related either to WPA authentication (WPA supplicant bug?), or N-type wireless networking (driver issue?). Also, when I search the web for similar issues, most of the reports I see are for Ubuntu. I am wondering whether the wireless dropouts are specific to the way Ubuntu is using the driver, wpa supplicant, or network manager? -- Intel Pro/Wireless 4965 AG stops transferring data within a few minutes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277634 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
