I have a problem with my Wi-Fi on CachyOS that makes the system hard to use.
My connection randomly stops working for 1–10 minutes. During this time, I still stay connected to the Wi-Fi network, and I can usually ping my router, but websites stop loading. Sometimes I have to manually reconnect to Wi-Fi to fix it.
My hardware is a Realtek RTL8852CE (rtw89 driver), and this started after a recent kernel update. It worked fine before.
There are no clear error messages in the logs when the problem happens. It just looks like the connection “hangs” or becomes unstable.

And when the issue happens, there are no clear error messages in the logs — the connection just stops working until I reconnect Wi-Fi manually.I’m not sure if this is a kernel regression (7.1.1-2-cachyos), driver issue, or firmware/power management problem.
I doubt it. Other devices using the same network are stable (my laptop running Mint and my smartphone).
curl -4 -v --connect-timeout 10 https://1.1.1.1
* Trying 1.1.1.1:443…
* Connection timed out after 10006 milliseconds
* closing connection #0
curl: (28) Connection timed out after 10006 milliseconds
After a few minutes (sometimes less), the connection returns to normal. I also have a Linux Mint laptop and a phone on the same network, and their connections remain stable the whole time without any interruptions
Hello, I encountered the same problem.
Laptop Asus TUF ryzen 7000series
WiFi does not disconnect it is just stuck until manual disconnecting / reconnecting.
Other devices (iPhone, Android, Windows, Linux Mint) does not have that Issues
Until now i didn’t find a working solution. Someone mentioned it could be related to Bluetooth but that didn’t work. Also turning of all other devices WiFi doesn’t affect my Laptops behavior.
any help is appreciated
For now, I’ve switched to the LTS kernel version, and there are no issues there. I’m just waiting for a fix or something. 
hm looks like it’s a DNS problem like the suggestion of @mattsteg . connected to ethernet everything works fine.
opening journalctl -f
shows that wlan0 “Bus client set DNS server list to: 192.162.1.2”. The frustrating part is that this IP was used for my Pi-hole (not working anymore and config changed back to what it was bevor on my router) …
Not in my case. I switched to the 6.18.36-1-cachyos-lts (64-bit) kernel, and the issue is gone.
