Wifi eventually disconnects.

You can pass it to the kernel commandline as "iwlwifi.power_save=0" but also look at the journal (it's a bool and might prefer "iwlwifi.power_save=false")
Before that you can just try "iw dev wlan0 set power_save off"

I gave it a while to see how it would perform, but it still starts slowing down after a little while.
Here is a new journal:

After ~16 minutes the AP seems to alter its BSSID, causing a re-connect?

Or are there repeaters in use?

Not sure what a reapeter is but I haven't set anything like that up. How can I fix this?

seth · 2022-10-18 18:57:16

Range extender, different device w/ the same SSID.
If that's not the case and the AP is actively changing its BSSID for whatever reason, you need to "fix" that in the AP.
The client has to reconnect because the original AP is now gone (it seems)

The reconnect itself is a bit bumpy, but only takes 1 - 2 seconds
