I am a university student so all network that I connect to (LAN, WiFi) have proxy server configured.
My WiFi stops working for a few seconds every 5 minutes and then starts working again. This causes downloads of large files to stop and drops the speed to 0 and then they resume again after a few seconds. I tried to diagnose the problem and found out that this behavior is not encountered when connected to my mobile's wifi hotspot. I also found out that every time the connection breaks, NetworkManager-dispatcher.service is started again then stopped exactly 10 seconds later. This is how the output for httping looks like:

.This dispatcher service being started and stopped every 5 minutes is not observed when connected to my mobile hotspot or LAN.
Some other information that might be relevant is:
WiFi uses Protected EAP with WPA/WPA2 Enterprise encryption without CA certificate (?).
Any help would be appreciated. The output for journalctl -f is here and that of httping is here
