Can't set up wireless network

I've done everything as the wiki said: raised up interface and launched wpa_supplicant.
After succesful connection, machine freezes for a couple of seconds and wpa_supplicant gives me this:

wlp2s0: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=14:60:80:63:8b:3c reason=4 locally_generated=1

How to fix it? The same algorithm worked perfectly on another computer.

Oh, and after that if i put wlp2s0 down and try to raise it up again, it would remain down. Dunno if it helps.
This computer has RTL8821AE wireless adapter, dunno if it helps too.

Please post the exact commands used and their verbatim output (e.g., what output indicated that wlp2s0 remained down).  Also please post the output of `rfkill list`.

Re: Can't set up wireless network

Lots on the net about issues w/this driver on linux.  I'd read through this: https://www.linuxquestions.org/question … 175580780/ .  It looks like some folks managed to get a stable connection working on Linux Mint: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=194001 .
