WiFi Disconnects - Lenovo E545 - Realtek RTL8188E

Post by Nick_Nuclear »

I'm having some problems with my WiFi. I just installed Mint (Loving it), but have been having some issues with WiFi. I am running Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon on a Lenovo E545 with a RealTek RTL8188E.

It usually disconnects after a while, and can sometimes be temporally solved by waiting a few minutes then disconnecting then reconnecting. Sometimes I have to restart my laptop to get it to work again.

Is there anyway to fix this?

Update:

Looking around the forum I read some other posts and noticed some similarities. My WiFI fails only after "wake up". I've set it so my laptop doesn't sleep or suspend, and that seems to work, but it's not a solution I'd like to keep forever, for power/battery reasons.
