I'm a member of the SoCal loco group and I'm very happy to be on this email list now. <br><br>Some things are concerning and I'm about to start investigating them. This concern pertains to my laptop which is a Lenovo Ideapad 310-15ABR and I run Ubuntu on it but man, I'm having the hardest time keeping it connected to my wifi which is a brand new router from Charter and it's an awesome setup since it supports 802.11ac and it's dual channel and I've got a brand new Intel 3165 802.11ac/b/g/n + Bluetooth 4.0 wifi card in it that replaces a Realtek model that came as standard equipment for the laptop. <br><br>I vetted the hardware thoroughly and got documentarion from Lenovo confirming the approved models of wifi cards for my laptop and I verified the new card with the vendor and I chose Intel, which I try to do all the time, since Intel is fully supported by Ubuntu and Linux in general. <br><br>I'm going to be taking my laptop to another location and connecting to the wifi there too see how it performs. <br><br>My home is blanketed with various wireless signals from the wireless alarm system, to the tv streaming devices (roku), and many other things. I get the feeling that due to this, that's why my connection always suffers. <br><br>But this is a preliminary assessment and I want to conduct thorough investigations into this and try to get it figured out.<br><br>Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.<br><br>Charlie<br><br>-- <br>Ubuntu-us-ca mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Ubuntu-us-ca@lists.ubuntu.com" data-mce-href="mailto:Ubuntu-us-ca@lists.ubuntu.com">Ubuntu-us-ca@lists.ubuntu.com</a><br>Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ca" data-mce-href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ca">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ca</a><br></span></div></div></blockquote></div></div></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>-- </span><br><span>Ubuntu-us-ca mailing list</span><br><span><a href="mailto:Ubuntu-us-ca@lists.ubuntu.com">Ubuntu-us-ca@lists.ubuntu.com</a></span><br><span>Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ca">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ca</a></span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
