Title: Wi-Fi works after boot but stops after sleep. Anyone else?

General Help

Hi everyone,

I am new to Zorin OS and overall I really like it. Everything is working better than I expected.

But I have one strange problem.

After fresh boot, Wi-Fi works without any issue. If I close the laptop lid or let it go to sleep, sometimes when I wake it up the Wi-Fi is connected but internet is not working. Other times the Wi-Fi adapter disappears for a few seconds and then comes back.

Restart always fixes it, but I don't want to restart every time.

Is this something related to power management or network driver?

I am still learning Linux, so if someone had same problem before, I would really appreciate any advice.

Thanks.

Welcome to the Forum!

  • Are Secure Boot and Fast Boot in BIOS disabled?
  • If Windows is still installed: Is Fast start-Up in Windows disabled?
  • Did You checked the ''Additional Drivers'' Tab in Software & Updates if there is a Driver offered?
  • Does Your System run in Wayland or X11? You can check that with the Terminal Command echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
  • Could You post the Output of the Commands sudo lshw -C network and rfkill list please?
