Hello Larry, First of all, thanks your help. Lets see...here is the kernel version: 4.13.12-300 The machine is an Asus ROG 553VE The firmware which loading in the dmesg is : rtlwifi/rtl8723befw_36.bin The output of md5sum is : 1850c1308fbcd95e9f6a7f58ede1e35f[...] sudo iw dev wlan0 scan | egrep "SSID|signal" Post that output. In addition, copy the dmesg output to some pastebin and post the link as well. LarryHello Larry, I hope this email post format is good, and fit to the rules. Here is the output: root@skynet-x2 ~]# iw dev wlp2s0 scan | egrep "SSID|signal" signal: -46.00 dBm SSID: SKYNET-X2 [...] [root@skynet-x2 ~]#Scan results seem normal. Was this scan before disconnect? - Yes, this command output taken while the connection was OKquoted
And the dmesg output: https://pastebin.com/iqQSu2hDIs now v4.13.13. - Yes, thats the upgraded kernel This is interesting, an H2C command was dropped, but no idea which. [ 9.848052] rtl8723be: error H2C cmd because of Fw download fail!!! Disconnection happened at boot+440 seconds, associate+429 seconds; [ 439.871033] rtlwifi: AP off, try to reconnect now [ 439.871093] wlp2s0: Connection to AP 4c:5e:0c:c7:fa:e3 lost I cannot tell what causes disconnect. I wonder if the same timing of the problem happens always, or if the timing varies. - The timing always changing, never is the same. And I dont realize the cause at now... Init MAC failed was another 30 seconds later; [ 468.600670] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlp2s0: link is not ready [ 469.618926] rtl8723be: Init MAC failed Looking at _rtl8723be_init_mac, there are two false returns; hardware power on fail, and llt write fail. Sorry, I don't have rtl8723be hardware. Rákosi, did any older kernel keep connection? - The oldest kernel is 4.13.9-300.fc27.x86_64 in Fedora 27 installation, but did the same.
If you can give advise how, and what I do, then I'll try it. Thanks, Gergely
