My wifi connection keeps disconnecting frequently (say once in a couple of minutes) sometimes it gets back and sometimes I need to activate and deactivate aeroplane mode.
I tried to change my network provider to make sure it is this laptop problem and not the internet I use. The same happened with ADSL connection, android hotspot, and TD LTE modem.
Really annoying.
Some info:
output of lspci -knn | grep Net -A2:

and out put of grep wlan /var/log/kern.log:

I tried most of the answers above, some of them worked but the problem started again after a couple of hours. Finally I installed a fresh Ubuntu and get rid of the disconnection syndrome but the same thing started to happen the day before yesterday.


At last my searches led to a bug with the 5.15 kernel and I found that there are many people facing the same problem with 5.15 and 5.16 kernels. I just updated to the latest kernel (5.17.7) and it has solved the problem for two days now.


I tried this solution to update to the latest kernel
