I'm sorry to hear that didn't work for you, that's the solution that worked for me! Good luck my friend

The odd thing is it only drops the 5G band after sleep. All the 2.4g networks are there with no issue. So I doubt it's a power thing. But I'll make an update if I figure anything out.

 

For context, i am running Pop Os Linux on the 7840.

every time my laptop wakes from sleep it would not see my 5G wifi network. the only solution was to disable and enable wifi and it would work.

I was looking into this wifi card made by mediatek and it doesnt have a good reputation. so i swapped it out with the intel AX210 from my 12th gen board and now everything is working flawlessly.

There is a script you should run from your home folder and it will install the fingerprint reader. works like a charm.

#!/bin/bashsudo apt updatesudo apt upgrade -y## Path correction for python (solved a compilation issue)export PATH="/home/$USER/.local/bin:$PATH"## Fingerprint readersudo apt purge --auto-remove fprintd libfprint-2-2 -ysudo apt install gtk-doc-tools libfprint-2-dev libgirepository1.0-dev libgusb-dev libgudev-1.0-dev libpam-wrapper libpam0g-dev libpamtest0-dev libpolkit-gobject-1-dev libxml2-utils python3-pip python3-pypamtest git gettext valgrind -ysudo apt install build-essential cmake gettext libdbus-1-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libdebconfclient0 libglib2.0-dev libnss3-dev libpixman-1-dev libsystemd-dev meson python3-dbusmock libpam-fprintd udev libcairo2-dev -ysudo pip install mesonpip install ninja gobject python-dbusmockgit clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/fprintd.gitgit clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/libfprint.gitcd libfprint/git fetchlatestTag=$(git describe --tags \git rev-list --tags --max-count=1\)echo $latestTaggit checkout $latestTagsudo chown $USER.$USER -R .meson setup builddirmeson setup --wipe builddirsudo ninja -C builddir installcd ../fprintd/git fetchlatestTag=$(git describe --tags `git rev-list --tags --max-count=1`)echo $latestTaggit checkout $latestTagsudo chown $USER.$USER -R .meson setup builddirmeson setup --wipe builddirsudo ninja -C builddir installcd ..sudo pam-auth-updateecho "You can now go to Settings -> Users to enroll your fingerprints"echo "If the option does not appear, then there must have been an error in one of the steps above (probably the compilations, lines 31-34)"``

when i installed fedora 39 the fingerprint sensor worked out of the box. but touchpad gestures weren't working and most of my gnome extensions werent compatible. Plus i personally dont like rpm distros.

even with fedex tracking you can have issues. mine was delivered a full day before what the fedex tracking said. it was nuts it traveled from Taiwan to my house in about 30 hours.

windows wont let you install on an external drive, but there are ways to force it. generally, i would not recommend it. you will have performance issues.

 

I received my 7840 mainboard yesterday and excitedly swapped it into my laptop then spent all day trying to get pop os working properly. it wouldnt. i tried to get ubuntu working with frameworks instructions but it was never quite right. it seemed like my only option was to switch to Fedora which im not a huge fan of. i was having display issues no matter what, and using nomodeset would get it to work, but with incorrect display settings.

Then this morning i noticed there was a BIOS update to 0.0.3.3 so i installed it. Immediately all my issues with pop os went away and things are working perfectly.

Hope this helps someone.

i get marks but they always go away with a wipe. i put a screen protector on just in case.
