Hi, I'm experiencing relatively frequent issues with my Intel WiFI connection
dropping, at least once a day. (Lenovo T530 laptop) Just now I had it drop
about 5 times in a row during a Zoom meeting. By "drop" I mean that
NetworkManager shows no connection for about 10 seconds, and it has to
re-associate. Of course multiple things could be going wrong given that it's
WiFI, but my router is a high quality Mikrotik device giving a strong signal to
my laptop, and I don't have major problems with WiFI spectrum congestion in
this area. Also, the router log is showing corresponding events like
"disconnected, ok", whereas in the past when I had problems with the actual
connection quality it would throw an error indicating there was "major data
loss". I also found some nasty looking errors with traces in dmesg that seem to
correspond to the timeframes of the episondes, although I can't be sure because
I put my machine to sleep every night and therefore the time stamps are wrong.
I pulled the most interesting bits out and changed the MAC addresses. I should
also mention that I usually have a Bluetooth headphone connected. Thanks for
the help!
