Description makruiten 2017-08-08 18:25:28 UTC

Description of problem:

Multiple times a day I cannot surf the internet or ping any device on my network anymore, including the wifi router that I'm connecting to. The wifi remains connected, but stops functioning until I disconnect and reconnect it. This seems to happen when there is a lot of traffic (smb file transfers, trading websites). Downloading a large file is rarely a problem, so it seems to me that it's the amount of connections that triggers it and not the bandwidth that's being used.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

iwlwifi-8000C-27.ucode

How reproducible:

As soon as I open a trading site (GDAX for example) it's almost guaranteed to happen within a few minutes. I have not yet found a way to make it 100% reproducible.

Additional information:

I'm connected to a TP-Link Archer C7 V2 router over AC with LEDE firmware installed (latest stable release).

Please tell me which logs to attach.

Comment 2 Martin Dengler 2017-10-01 15:39:44 UTC

Downgrading the firmware to v22 fixed this type of symptom for me; see details in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1452746#c22

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-03 08:22:30 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '26'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-29 11:48:20 UTC

Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26
is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any
further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
