Turn off automatic wifi network scan












0















In windows I can set a setting in my wifi driver to "power saving mode" which stops windows from automatically searching the networks available. This is too what stops me from getting systematic lag spikes.



Which is why I want to turn automatic network scan off my desktop computer in Ubuntu too which is connected to the same network at all times anyways.



It seems that the power saving mode in Ubuntu;



sudo iwconfig wlp7s0 power on/off


Is not related to its, by name, same windows function.
