RTL8192CUS-based USB WiFi dongle
I have never had any connection issues. My other laptops have been able
to remain connected with open SSH sessions to remote systems for days at
a time without disconnecting. I should mention that I now make sure to
ping my router, not the Internet, to check if the WiFi interface is
working properly. Since my Internet is reliable, it doesn't make much of
a difference, but this way, I eliminate potential error sources.
The USB dongle listed last was purchased today and is plugged into the
Lenovo as a workaround for WiFi until it's fixed. It works perfectly
fine if I use the rtl8192cu-fixes driver. I unplug it whenever I test
the internal WiFi for this bug ticket.
(Is it just me, or are all the Realtek WiFi drivers in the kernel kind
of unreliable? This is not the first time Realtek chips have given me
trouble.)

Title:
RTL8821AE abruptly halts all network traffic
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Computer: Lenovo IdeaPad 110
WiFi AP: Linksys E2500
After a few minutes of mixed Internet use, the WiFi hangs and the
interface ceases to pass traffic:

rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 11.423/177.382/7227.733/806.648 ms, pipe 8
Before the driver hangs, speeds are 30/5 Mbps despite a 75 Mbps WiFi
transmit rate and a 70/70 Mbps symmetrical fiber connection in the
house. The connection and the router are known to perform better than
this with other equipment.
Forcing the router into 802.11g mode does, at least at a cursory
glance, seem to mitigate the halting problem, but speeds remain
abysmal.
If there is any kind of technically involved tests I can do to speed
up the debugging of this problem, let me know. I have some experience
with embedded development in C.
