Fresh install of Fedora 42 on FW Laptop 13 - Ryzen AI 300. Ran a full dnf update
immediately after install and rebooted. I can confirm that this does not solve the problem.
Issues
- WiFi constantly disconnects.
- During the (very brief) moments when the WiFi is connected, connection is very flakey and slow.
- Fedora reports:
Connection failed: Activation of network connection failed
.
Things I’ve Tried (Which didn’t work)
dnf update
and reboot.
- Updating firmware using
fwupd
.
- Disabling power save mode using Framework’s WiFi Power Save Utility.
- Running the laptop in performance mode.
- Restarting my home WiFi.
- Opening the laptop and reseating the WiFi card.
Other Things I’ve Tried
Running a live USB of Ubuntu 24.04.02.
Initially, there were problems getting connected, just as with Fedora 42. Then, somehow, a connection was established, however, it was very flakey and slow. A speed test shows download speeds of 94Mbps, whilst other WiFi 7 devices in the same room see 904Mbps.
Running Windows 11
This works perfectly fine after installing the Framework driver bundle, no connection issues and speed is great. Only problem is, I don’t want to run Windows.

I have generated the following files:
- A snippet of
journalctl
.
- The result of Framework’s WiFi Diagnostic tool.
- The result of Framework’s WiFi Drop Tester tool.
However, this forum post thing doesn’t seem to be letting me upload any of the files. I can post them inline, but they’re long - so let me know (don’t worry, I’ll redact them).
I have also opened a support ticket about this.
Right now I’m just looking at my brand new laptop - which is pretty useless to me
