This started happening like a week ago right before i went on a trip so i cant tell you what i might have changed that might have caused this.
The problem is that when i connect to wifi it thinks that theres no internet. The wifi icon has a red dot next to it and when i try to ping another system in my network it says “Destination Host Unreachable” and when i try to ping the ip of my router it doesnt do anything at all (seems to just time out).
If i restart my laptop the internet works fine for a bit, but after a few minutes everything starts timing out, dns stops working and a red dot appears next to the wifi icon. Sometimes when i change what internet access point in my house i am connected to it will start working but thats not the solution i would want.
This whole issue is very unpredictable in general and i really cant see any pattern in when or why the internet stops working.
And yes, the wifi works completely fine on any other device.
One configuration issue that often totally blanks network usage is having 2 different interfaces on the same subnet. You have that with
2: eno1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether e0:70:ea:ae:52:c3 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
altname enp2s0
inet 192.168.1.14/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute eno1
valid_lft 86352sec preferred_lft 86352sec
inet6 fe80::c190:1d60:aa9b:3d86/64 scope link noprefixroute
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
3: wlo1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether f8:89:d2:b3:47:7f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
altname wlp3s0
inet 192.168.1.69/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global noprefixroute wlo1
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 fe80::4362:7055:2a25:3968/64 scope link noprefixroute
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
For network stability it is best to always use only one interface on a subnet unless you are a networking guru and can configure things to play nicely in the same sandbox.
Some are having issues with the default drivers for that card and searching for the ‘Realtek RTL8822CE’ card, the ‘rtw_8822ce’ drivers, and related issues on this forum will provide several pointers on how others have solved the intermittent connection issues.
Its probably the second issue.
the first issue was probably caused by the fact that i had wifi on and i had connected to ethernet at the same time so that i can actually make this post
this is the output without ethernet
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

2: eno1: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state DOWN group default qlen 1000

inet6 fe80::4362:7055:2a25:3968/64 scope link noprefixroute

ill look into the second issue and see if i can find a fix
