Wi-Fi USB Adaptor lost connection after Suspension

Hello Again!. I have this brand new USB Adaptor Wi - Fi , Tp-link Tl-WN722N, V3 (so its chip set is Realtek, I think), Working Fine with Kernel 4.13, but when I return my Desktop computer from suspension mode, It losts internet connection, and the only thing I can do is reboot the system, since nothing works from the panel net connection icon.
This is my computer info

It appears this card has issues in Windows too!

Have you tried a different USB port? For the pain it is giving I would ask for my money back and contact these guys:

http://www.thinkpenguin.com

I am sorry I forgot to answer this back . Suddenly after some update I think this problem was fixed...I didn't change the port... The only thing that happens after suspend mode is the net icon , gets the cable net icon instead of wifi one , but the browsing is ok, and the connexion isn't lost... do you know if the updates brings anything new? I haven't changed the Kernel.

Sorry I can't answer that as still not tried Lite - I only have an old Notebook that does not support PAE and Lite versions of Zorin run like a 3-legged dog!

After some tests, but I said before isn't tottaly right, because sometimes the navagation isn't ok. Sometimes after suspend mode (no mather if I mark the opción "save session for future starts or not) I lost wi-fi conection. However I have great news to share in case someone else needs it the developer has upload a driver for linux which date is march 6th 2018, here https://www.tp-link.com/ar/download/TL-WN722N.html#Driver

Altough they say in their manual "The driver is recommended to be installed on Linux OS which applies the kernel version that we have listed on TP-LINK official website" (2.6 -3.16) I am under Kernel~4.13.0-38-generic x86_64 and don't know if I have to change....I don't think so, and I don't like the idea. (...) "Given the specificity of the Linux system, we are very sorry that we cannot provide more guidance on the installation". https://www.tp-link.com/en/faq-1076.html; anyway here where they explain how to compile it says diferent about the kernel version https://static.tp-link.com/Installation ... er_RTL.pdf


I haven't try it yet but couldn't keep the secret

Hi pcfan5

why not upgrading your kernel version and see how your laptop suspension issue behaves

Make a backup first.
I am using always the latest kernel version in Zorin. At present v4.16.2
