| Jun 11 at 19:04 | comment | added | Kalle Svensson | @ChanganAuto Thank you. The disturbance occurs randomly and lasts for 2–6 minutes. During this period, WiFi wakes up shortly. E.g., you can use a browser, but it's lagging. If you start Ubuntu and see no lagging, it's either because you didn't hit a disturbance or because there are no disturbances under Linux. Or is there some way to come to a more definite conclusion? | |

That's the point, rule out hardware if it works fine in the live OS or rule out the installed OS if the problem persists. You don't need access to anything else other than what's loaded in RAM - the live session - but actually you have access to everything else unless encrypted but you don't need to, you're over-complicating things that are trivial troubleshooting steps . | |
| Jun 11 at 16:51 | comment | added | Kalle Svensson | @DrMoishe Pippik: Booting from USB differentiates between those two? Do you mean that if I boot from USB, I can tell whether it is a hardware or software issue? Please explain this. The only way to boot from USB, I know, is to use the installation media. Then you have no access to drive C: except for using it for a new installation. The installation does use WiFi, but it won't tell me about WiFi problems. My app would tell, but I cannot start it. | |
| Jun 11 at 15:10 | comment | added | DrMoishe Pippik | Yes, that is correct, either Acer's software or hardware. Booting from USB differentiates between those two. | |
| Jun 11 at 15:03 | comment | added | Kalle Svensson | @DrMoishe Pippik: Perhaps I don't understand you. The TV uses Android TV. Our phones run Android. Other PCs use Windows, but they have different hardware and different drivers. The problem occurs only on the Acer. It must be either Acer's software or hardware, I think. What other alternatives do you see? | |
| Jun 11 at 13:25 | comment | added | DrMoishe Pippik | That does not determine if it's hardware issues inside the PC. If another OS works, it's not hardware at fault. | |
| Jun 11 at 7:59 | comment | added | Kalle Svensson | @DrMoishe Pippik Well, I've written, "I have other devices on the same WiFi network, in particular a streaming TV, and they show no disturbances." The TV is extremely sensitive. It stops immediately at a WiFi break. But it doesn't stop when the PC goes through the disturbance. It is a Windows problem. Or the hardware's. | |
