[SOLVED] Wireless disconnect issues?

Hi all!

Zorin OS is an awesome piece of kit. I enjoyed using it the moment I installed it on my laptop. Windows 10 was annoying me too much, so I hunted around for a linux distro to use long term, and chose Zorin over the most popular distros.

One issue I've been having is with the wireless, it disconnects after a while. It works out of the box so I didn't need to install the dedicated driver from the manufacturer. If I can sort this out, this will be my primary OS for good.

Hope it's OK to ask.

Thanks

Hi, right click the desktop anywhere and select 'Open Terminal', then enter 'lsusb' and post back the results. Thank.

Hey Swarfendor,

I followed the instructions on the linked site and the wireless isn't disconnecting. It's worked.

Thank you for your help.

Great stuff!
