#####################

Hi Support

at startup of analysis:
Wifi5/6 dropped randomly if ipv6 is enabled/disabled on gnome-network-manager-gui no Error on Logs! No red Kernel Messages.

My Lab:
At my Lab i disabled all ipv6 on my Subnet LAN Openwrt-Routers, and my Laptop loses "randomly" 20times a day the Internet but the Signal is 100% to the WIFI-Routers, no ping, no nslookup to first DSL-WAN Router possible.

First Handling:
After i manual enable/disable WIFI by switch is works again fast.

Analysis:
After some search on Net i disabled ipv6 in sysctl.conf !

GTK-Apps Affected: seen on network-manager/network-manager-gnome/wicd Managers

Hardware Change/Test:
I tested / changed 3 different old wifi-5+ new wifi-6 intel AX 7260 HMW mini-pci-cards same problem!

Now testing again..

Thanks

Disable ipv6 on sysctl.conf seems to fix the problem

Found a lot of dhcpd6 client problems on net with

the problem of randomly disconnects and problems to

new register/pull/expire time on ipv6 handling data from Routers.

This must be fixed! Network is a must have!
