Troubleshooting NetworkManager disconnecting Wifi on Start Up

So I was having this weird problem lately. Whenever I booted my Laptop and it came to the desktop, the Wifi would suddenly get disconnected. It would then stop working at all. I have had this problem before which would not be this repetitive and definitely not this much quick. Well, Manjaro Forums came to the rescue. One of the posters gave a command that turns Wifi off for the 'nmcli' command. I simply converted it into a Wifi Off and Wifi On command. Upon doing that, Wifi got fixed.

#!/bin/bash
nmcli r wifi off
nmcli r wifi on

Installing TP Link TLWN823N on Manjaro / Arch Linux

I will be super quick about this. I received it today and upon connecting on my Manjaro box, it showed by Wifi but with very poor signal. I suspected it could be a driver issue. So I googled and it was pretty easily available. I am doing this write up to sum up the whole process in a script.


git clone https://github.com/Tafhim/rtl8192eu-linux-driver.git
cd rtl8192eu-linux-driver

sudo dkms install rtl8192eu/1.0
echo "blacklist rtl8xxxu" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/realtek.conf
Then reboot.
