Hi. I'm reaching out to any relevant User or Mod/Admin with first-hand experience of using WiFi in Maui. I'd like to hear your experiences & advice as to the stability & reliability of WiFi in Maui, covering:
1. Stability during a session [can your pc stay connected to wifi & reliably transmit & receive data hour after hour after hour without intervention, or does wifi "die" after a while & need you to intervene?]
2. Stability across sessions, eg, after Suspend / Resume [after Resume, do Network Manager & WiFi automatically pickup the network connection & resume data flow ok, or is User-intervention required?]
3. General remarks?
I have 2 PCs, a Tower without WiFi running Maui 2 [via Maui 1 originally], & a Dell XPS-15 Lappy not running Maui, & whose WiFi is frequently troublesome for both #1 & #2 above. I am seriously considering replacing Lappy's Mint 18 Xfce with Maui to get the WiFi hassles resolved, but first it would help to read the experiences of other users with first-hand experience of WiFi in Maui.
