Yeah, my router supports that, and I'll add a DHCP reservation for my Fedora laptop. However - I upgraded the firmware on my wireless AP on Monday and I haven't seen any wifi drops since then. So possibly problem solved? :-) Thanks, Scott ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure

I still would like to stop the frequency switching though. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
Re: WiFi reconnecting periodically after upgrade to F35
Roger, you hit the nail on the head. After reviewing a bunch of old logs, it seems that I've been having intermittent connection drops for a while (i.e., while still on F34). Previously, it seems it would just reconnect on 5 GHz - the change in F35 is that it now toggles between 5 and 2.5 and when it does, it changes my IP address, so I definitely notice.

So yeah, my AP has both 2.5 GHz and 5 GHz radios, both with the same SSID. So it seems my Fedora laptop is toggling between the two bands. 74:83:c2:03:5e:61 is the 2.5 GHz and 7a:83:c2:04:5e:61 is the 5 GHz. I'll provide the journalctl logs later.

WiFi reconnecting periodically after upgrade to F35
Hey all, After upgrading my machine from F34 to F35, my WiFi interface has started periodically losing connection to my AP: [359558.259581] wlp2s0: disconnect from AP 74:83:c2:03:5e:61 for new auth to 7a:83:c2:04:5e:61 [359558.295289] wlp2s0: authenticate with 7a:83:c2:04:5e:61 [359558.303728] wlp2s0: send auth to 7a:83:c2:04:5e:61 (try 1/3) [359558.420976] wlp2s0: send auth to 7a:83:c2:04:5e:61 (try 2/3) [359558.535361] wlp2s0: send auth to 7a:83:c2:04:5e:61 (try 3/3) [359558.539560] wlp2s0: authenticated [359558.541962] wlp2s0: associate with 7a:83:c2:04:5e:61 (try 1/3) [359558.546749] wlp2s0: RX ReassocResp from 7a:83:c2:04:5e:61 (capab=0x1511 status=0 aid=1) [359558.548394] wlp2s0: associated [362203.433026] wlp2s0: Connection to AP 7a:83:c2:04:5e:61 lost [362205.926676] wlp2s0: authenticate with 74:83:c2:03:5e:61 [362205.933392] wlp2s0: send auth to 74:83:c2:03:5e:61 (try 1/3) [362205.950198] wlp2s0: authenticated [362205.951055] wlp2s0: associate with 74:83:c2:03:5e:61 (try 1/3) [362205.961349] wlp2s0: RX AssocResp from 74:83:c2:03:5e:61 (capab=0x1431 status=0 aid=3) [362205.991817] wlp2s0: associated [368538.289493] wlp2s0: disconnect from AP 74:83:c2:03:5e:61 for new auth to 7a:83:c2:04:5e:61 [368538.332076] wlp2s0: authenticate with 7a:83:c2:04:5e:61 [368538.340738] wlp2s0: send auth to 7a:83:c2:04:5e:61 (try 1/3) [368538.350927] wlp2s0: authenticated [368538.353064] wlp2s0: associate with 7a:83:c2:04:5e:61 (try 1/3) [368538.361613] wlp2s0: RX ReassocResp from 7a:83:c2:04:5e:61 (capab=0x1511 status=0 aid=10) [368538.362915] wlp2s0: associated It's an iwlwifi card: [9.262442] iwlwifi :02:00.0: Detected Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 8260, REV=0x204 Any ideas where to start debugging this / where to file a bug? kernel? NetworkManager? Something else involved in wifi these days? Wifi firmware doesn't seem to have changed between F34 and F35, as far as I can see. The most annoying thing is that I lose my SSH connections each time this happens. :( Thanks, Scott ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
