Realtek RTL8821CE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter

Post by sasa_ »

Code: Select all

Device-2: Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter
driver: rtw_8821ce
Laptop System: HP product: HP Laptop 15-da0xxx.
I installed Salix 15.
Wifi it works badly. Reconnects constantly, internet connection is lost.
I installed the Realtek driver from Slackbuilds.org. It still works poorly.
Is there any solution? I did not find a solution on the Internet.

Is there any solution?
Hello sasa_,

Yes, if possible, use a wire connection.

It could be that the driver in the 5.15.x kernels does not work all that well? You could probably try a newer kernel. Compiling your own isn't that hard: https://docs.salixos.org/wiki/How_to_compile_kernel

You could use the configs from slackware current as a starting point: http://slackware.uk/slackware/slackware ... l-configs/

Or you could just grab the kernel packages from slackware current. I don't think there is a reason why they shouldn't work.

Hello Sassa,

1) build and install the new firmware
https://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware ... -firmware/

2) build and install the new lts kernel 6.1.21
https://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware ... /source/k/

3) change the realtek driver 8168-8.048.03 by the realtek driver 8.051.02 with Slackbuilds.org

The Internet works if the notebook is near the Internet router. When he is in another room, then the internet will not work.
Old notebook HP with atheros chipset, works even when it is far from the internet router.
I expected that a notebook with a Realtek chipset could work like that, but unfortunately it can't.
Thanks everyone for your help.
