Hi folks,
Since my reconfiguration of where my MythTV backend lives, it now
requires connectivity via Wi-Fi as opposed to a wired LAN. The results
have been... disappointing.
Every couple of days I'll notice playback of a recording needing to
consistently rebuffer. Logging into the MythTV box, I'll see NFS errors
(my recordings live on an NFS location), and I'll also see messages like:
iwlwifi 0000:01:00.0: Microcode SW error detected. Restarting 0x0.
Rebooting the MythTV box "fixes" the problem, but obviously that's not a
reasonable solution.
My current Wi-Fi NIC is an Intel AX210. Given the reliability of Intel
gigabit NICs, I figured this would be a safe bet.
I get that people *might* be able to put up with a tablet or a laptop
client where Wi-FI occasionally flakes out, and might even need a reboot
of the device. But for a system that is essentially set up like a
server this seems... completely unacceptable?
This experience makes me wonder: is there an accepted, tried-and-true
Wi-Fi solution for Linux? Ideally one that supports Wi-Fi 6E, since I
have that available.
Thanks
