Wifi broken on FP4 after update to 1.5.1-s
- /e/ version: 1.5.1-s
- Device model(s): FP4
- Developer mode enabled: yes
- Device rooted: no
- Trackers blocker enabled: no
Summary
Hi, I have a FP4 (bought in a Orange shop) on which I installed e/OS myself last January. The upgrade to 1.5.1-s went fine and smooth… but I have serious trouble with the Wi-Fi now. More precisely, I can connect to any network, but I can access the web only for a few minutes, after that I’m the dark. I am then connected without having access. The biggest downside of it being that it drains my battery in a few hours if I don’t disable the Wi-Fi.
I tried on different networks (personal and professional) and the behavior is the same. I did not change my network configuration, it was perfectly working before the update (and the same configuration is still working on my laptop).
The problem
Steps to reproduce
I connect to any Wi-Fi network (automatic connection according to location behaves similarly).
What is the current behavior?
I am connected to the network without access to Internet.
What is the expected correct behavior?
I should be connected to the network and be able to access Internet.
Technical informations
Relevant logs (adb logcat
)
I created a log with logcat, but considering the huge variety of personal data in the file I would prefer to have a specific request (i.e., what to grep
).

Solutions
Workaround
To get it work again I have to reboot (disconnect/reconnect does not provide me internet access), it only works temporarily. A reset of my network settings works temporarily as well.
I haven't dived into an analysis of the duration, but it works for around 30 minutes I'd say.
Possible fixes
I tried to modify the DNS parameters, the MAC randomness, and on different websites. I can't retrieve my emails either.
However, pinging an IP address via Termux is successful. I guess there is an issue with the DNS setting then, that would explain why I can connect to networks without being able to access the web.
