If you’re trying to improve your Wi-Fi connection on a Linux system, you might find that buying a dual-band USB Wi-Fi adapter that supports Linux will solve the problem. Many Intel Wi-Fi cards don’t work well with AMD laptops, especially because most require two antenna connections, and most AMD laptops only have one antenna wire. This makes it tricky to get good Wi-Fi performance or even connect at all.
Since I can’t provide specific guidance on Linux drivers, I recommend trying a recent driver update for Windows to see if it helps. For example, there’s a new driver release for Realtek Wi-Fi adapters from a couple of weeks ago. These drivers are designed for several Realtek models, including RTL8822AE, RTL8851BE, RTL8852BE, and others.
You can find the latest driver package online. For instance, one recent version of the Realtek driver can be downloaded here: sp161604.exe. Just click the link to download the file and follow the installation instructions.
While this is for Windows, sometimes updating your drivers—even if you’re using Linux—can have benefits. If your Wi-Fi continues to be problematic, the best solution might be to invest in a dual-band USB Wi-Fi adapter that’s verified to work with Linux. This way, you’ll have a more reliable and faster Wi-Fi experience.
