    For me any Wi-Fi drops were solved by disabling power saving in NetworkManager

    Create a conf file:
    sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/wifi-powersave.conf

    Add this into the config file:

    [connection]
    wifi.powersave = 2
    

    Then restart NetworkManager or reboot your system

      I tried this but it didn’t seem to help. Mostly because it only wants to use 5ghz. I think I tried doing a bunch of “fixes” so maybe I should just start fresh. This is on my testing machine that I don’t use regularly so only god knows what I’ve done to it.

      Also did you do this on a laptop with S0 standby? How does that affect sleep?
