Wifi deathentication about two times per hour

Hello,
recently my wireless network has been disconnected very often and I am not sure how to troubleshoot.

$journalctl

Mar 31 19:28:36 VAIO kernel: wlp1s0: deauthenticated from 00:26:5a:b5:34:23 (Reason: 6)
Mar 31 19:28:36 VAIO wpa_actiond[323]: Interface 'wlp1s0' lost connection to network 'tberg'
Mar 31 19:28:36 VAIO kernel: cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain
Mar 31 19:29:06 VAIO wpa_actiond[323]: Interface 'wlp1s0' disconnected from network 'tberg'

I am using netctl and by restarting that systemd-service I am able to obtain network access again, but after about half an hour i get disconnected once again.

#systemctl restart netctl-auto@wlp1s0

Here wlp1s0 is the name of my wifi-device. I have also tried running netctl without the auto-connect feature and the same issue occurs.

Do you have any ideas?

Could be, other routers in your neighborhood are accessing the same channel on their router, change the channel and see if it helps.

Re: Wifi deathentication about two times per hour

It doesn't seem like that is the problem. I have changed channel many times and for the moment I am using a feature that lets the router itself choose the most appropriate channel.

My cell phone and my tablet doesn't have this issue which is why I'm thinking it is some problem with my arch configuration.
