On the support fora that I frequent, many people report unstable and unreliable WiFi connections because of this. In those cases, when power management for the WiFi chipset is turned off, the connection immediately improves a lot. Therefore the default for WiFi power management should be "off", non "on". Workaround for those who don't want to wait for the fix: sudo sed -i 's/3/2/' /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf Reboot. When there's no such .conf file yet: sudo touch /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-off.conf echo "[connection]" | sudo tee /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default- wifi-powersave-off.conf echo "wifi.powersave = 2" | sudo tee -a /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-off.conf Reboot.
