I quickly downloaded and started installing Ubuntu 24 on the day of its release. However, I encountered errors during the installation process, causing it to stop and restart multiple times. I realized that the problem was with my internet connection. I selected the "Install without internet" option from the available choices, and the Ubuntu 24 operating system was installed.
The issue was that after connecting to WiFi, the connection would work for a few minutes and then drop. The system indicated that I was connected to WiFi in the settings, but the web browser and all other applications could not access the internet. It was as if I was not connected to the internet at all.
Disconnecting and reconnecting to WiFi would temporarily resolve the issue, but it would reoccur after a few minutes. I also tried connecting via LAN cable, and the connection was stable without any issues.
I don't think the problem is with the drivers, but if it is, I would appreciate some guidance on installing the WiFi drivers. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Ubuntu 24 multiple times, but the problem persists. I have no issues with Ubuntu 23, which works correctly.
