hi, im using Zorin OS 12 and 15 Beta, updated to latest.
im persistently get disconnect from wifi, its always get question mark on the wifi atfer 1 or 2 days on (since my students forgot to turn off). And it also get no internet connection easily, it says something like 'network discovery disable...Avahi incompatible' although cable work fine.

Im hoping wifi, hopefully it can work as good as cable.

Having read this thread (https://forum.manjaro.org/t/intel-3165- ... arts/50712) it appears to be a driver issue. Have you, whilst having connected to internet with wired, updated the system. Have you tried disabling Bluetooth to see if that helps as I see it is a hybrid wireless/bluetooth chipset. Also look at that thread more closely on how to disable power saving to ensure that wireless is always up when switched on. ;) :D

Your simplest alternative might be to buy a usb dongle that works with GNU/Linux - if you look on websites that sell used kit look for a Netgear WG111 v3 - they work out of the box - only support 2.4 Ghz but it works well. Alternatively WNDA 3100, also from Netgear - that one supports 5 Ghz band. Before I forget, in your wireless connections, for IPv6 set this to 'ignore', Also ensure that IPv4 is only used to make the connection and available to all users. ;) :D
