WiFi keeps disconnecting and reconnecting on a particular network

I have been getting this problem for a few days now when I was using fedora 35 it never happened only in the last few days before the update did it happen and continued in f36 too .

My WiFi never disconnects on other networks but when I use mobile hotstop this occurs also I think it happens after I have put my laptop to sleep . Can someone help me out . I also tried checking journalctl logs but could not make out much .

My thought is that the hot spot is purposefully disconnecting you b/c it doesn’t want you to use data against your monthy cap when you’re not active.

Welcome to ask.:fedora:edora @emitsu

I do invite you to read this #start-here if you not done allready.
The information you gave us is very vague to give you a clear pointer in the right direction.

What i found with wifi problems and has a solution you can find here:

So could you please give us more info’s as :

inxi -Fzx in terminal and post the output as </> Preformatted text here.
to see how your specs are.

Side-note: I also had a wifi issue in f36, but that was not really severe and could have been something different:
