1) Do you configure network using iwd directly or using iwd as backend for network manager? Or something else? I am using iwctl directly.
2) hardware: something like lspci -v | grep -i -A6 net [lucie@koumakan ~]$ lspci -v | grep -i -A6 net pcilib: Error reading /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:08.3/label: Operation not permitted 01:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

3) When on wifi how do things look: iw dev wlan0 link | grep -E 'freq|signal|bitrate' iwctl station wlan0 show | grep -E 'Security|RxMode|TxMode' [lucie@koumakan ~]$ iw dev wlan0 link | grep -E 'freq|signal|bitrate' freq: 2452.0 signal: -37 dBm rx bitrate: 270.0 MBit/s MCS 15 40MHz tx bitrate: 300.0 MBit/s MCS 15 40MHz short GI [lucie@koumakan ~]$ iwctl station wlan0 show | grep -E 'Security|RxMode|TxMode' Security WPA2-Personal RxMode 802.11n TxMode 802.11n
4) What about journal - anything logged about networking problems? Yes, I do see a bunch of deauthentication events: "Received Deauthentication event, reason: 6, from_ap: true event: disconnect-info, reason: 6" and a couple of these in between: "Received Deauthentication event, reason: 3, from_ap: false event: disconnect-info, reason: 3"
5) is your wired connection solid ? Using USB tethering and disconnecting wifi seems to be working very stable, so I'd say it's solid, yes.
