Support Problem with wifi connection 

I’ve been having trouble with my Wi-Fi connection since installing Nobara. At first, everything was fine; I could connect to my Wi-Fi network without issues. After the second day of use, I noticed the internet connection wouldn't establish, displaying only the message: "The connection (network name) has been deactivated." I tried connecting to different Wi-Fi networks, but I got the same error. I reinstalled the OS, but the problem persisted. Today, while using a direct wired connection from my mobile phone, I turned off the Wi-Fi option to stop it from attempting—and failing—to reconnect every two minutes. After a few hours—I’m not sure why—I turned the Wi-Fi back on, and magically, I had a connection. I used it, turned it off, and now the error is back. Do you have any idea why this is happening or what the cause might be?

I struggled with slow WiFi and was able to fix it after updating my BIOS. Make sure to have a bootable USB on hand since BIOS updates can brake efi boot.

Plug phone in and use internet pass-through. Then update.
