I am using a Killer Wireless Networks AC-1525 but I am having constant problems with it, including sudden disconnects and poor WiFi signal, even though I have updated my firmware and installed the recommended patches according to the Killer Networks post. Any other hint how I can fix my issues or the only solution is to buy another M2 WiFi card with a better Linux driver support?
That's the output of lshw:
$ sudo lshw -class network *-network description: Wireless interface product: QCA6174 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter vendor: Qualcomm Atheros physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:07:00.0 logical name: wlp7s0 version: 20 serial: 74:29:af:33:3d:4f width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress bus_master cap_list ethernet physical wireless configuration: broadcast=yes driver=ath10k_pci driverversion=4.15.0-44-generic firmware=SW_RM.1.1.1-00157-QCARMSWPZ-1 ip=192.168.178.95 latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11 resources: irq:35 memory:d1400000-d15fffffAnd the output of dmesg because I just had a disconnect:
