Sounds like it may be some form of hardware issue, though whether it’s a question of wireless signal or driver issues can be hard to pin down.
Some things you can try from a shell prompt, to get you started investigating.
IMPORTANT : Please do not post personally identifying information like your IP or MAC address(es), or the BSSIDs of any local wireless networks, if you copy/paste any command output to the forum.
# To list the wireless networks currently visible,
# with channel number and data rate:
nmcli d wifi
# To see the recent console output from the kernel
# (any major hardware-driver issues will likely
# cause a message to be printed to the console):
dmesg -T
# To list your available network connections:
nmcli c
# After finding the one that corresponds to your
# wifi network (probably labeled with the SSID)
nmcli c show 'Network Name'
# To list the network *devices* on your system:
nmcli d
# After finding the one for your wifi connection:
nmcli d show <device> # (something like wlp1s0)
# To "monitor" the wifi link (you'll at least see
# messages if the link is actually dropping and
# reconnecting, tho probably not much else)
nmcli d monitor <device>
# To monitor the system journal in general, where
# logs related to network issues might appear
# (mixed with plenty of other irrelevant logs)
sudo journalctl -f
With the last two, type Ctrl+c to stop watching the logs.
If it were me, I’d set up to monitor the connection and journal, then use it for a bit until it gets flaky, and see what (if anything) showed up in the logs.
Oh, info on your wireless hardware might also be useful. If you install lshw (sudo dnf -y install lshw), then you can dump the hardware details like this (from my laptop):
But just as a reminder, for your privacy and security you should be careful to remove the serial: IDs, as I’ve done here, because they uniquely identify your device(s). (My non-routable, internal-network IP address, OTOH, is of no use to anyone.)
Thank you for helping here. I ran the ‘nmcli d wifi’, and ‘dmesg -T’ commands for starters.
I have selected the bolded and red output from ‘dmesg -T’. Doesn’t look so great…
