I've got Ubuntu 20.04 installed on a Lenovo Thinkpad T410. I've recently noticed a problem where every night after the laptop hasn't been used for a while, the wifi drops. At first it seemed to go into a power save mode so I tried disabling power save on the wifi adapter with:


sudo sed -i "s/wifi.powersave = 3/wifi.powersave = 2/g" /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf

then:


sudo systemctl restart network-manager.service

and it seemed to work, but for the last few days the problem changed to where the wifi icon gets a question mark on it and I have to turn wifi off and back on for it to connect.

sudo sed -i 's/3/2/' /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/*. Try this in terminal and restart the network manager with sudo service network-manager restart and if this doesn't work then go to wifi settings and then disable ipv6 and then restart the network manager with the same command. Hope this works.
