[SOLVED] unstablewifi, randomly disconnects for few seconds

I’m running Arch Linux x86_64 with the Kernel  6.16.8-arch3-1, using hyprland uwsm managed on dell latitude 5290 Intel i5-7300U.  Wi-Fi: Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265 (iwlwifi). 

Problem: My Wi-Fi keeps randomly disconnecting for a second and reconnecting. 
In `journalctl -k -b`, I see messages like: 
"iwlwifi: missed beacons exceeds threshold, but receiving data. Stay connected, Expect bugs." 
and 
"wlan0: deauthenticating by local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING)". 

I’ve tried disabling Bluetooth, disabling power saving in iwlwifi, and updating `linudsfasdx-firmware`, but the issue persists.

Colliding services, roaming or firmware crashed (power saving)
Please post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Re: [SOLVED] unstablewifi, randomly disconnects for few seconds

the issue is resolved. I checked systemctl --type=service, there were NetworkManager and systemd-networkd running simultaneously causing the issue. i stopped and disabled it.
