My WiFi connection is acting weird, it fluctuates, disconnecting and reconnecting every couple of minutes. This is a fresh install on my laptop. Is there someone who might have any idea how to solve this?

I have tried the solution offered in other discussion 300729 on archlinux.org, as suggested in 142946 on other discussion.
> sudo cat /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
options iwlwifi 11n_disable=8 led_mode=1 power_save=0 bt_coex_active=N
options iwlmvm power_scheme=1
> reboot
But the problem persists. I haven’t tried the other idea of downgrading the packages, as I’m not super sure about both which packages were meant and how to do it.
