Hello,
My wifi disconnects and I need to relaunch the wifi connection to make it work again it could happen every 5 minutes, every 1hour. I just sometimes lost my connections.
How to improve it?
I am using NetworkManager, maybe you suggest to use some other alternatives, which ones?
Maybe change network driver to another one, or update this one how to achieve this? I have reinstalled using:

My Invalid misc constatly increases.
I am using 5GHz internet.
Is it a interferance problem, how to solve it?

My last topic what I use for my connection:

I have read this:
 
Update your post to include full system hardware speds and OS information.

Make and model information for: modem, router, or modem/router (if combined).

You mentioned two routers - how are they connected? What ports are being used?

On your computer run "ipconfig /all" (without quotes) via the Command Prompt.

Post the results. You should be able to copy and paste the results without needing to retype it all.

Also look in Reliability History/Monitor for any error codes, warnings, or even informational events that occur/occured just before or at the time of the wifi disconnects.

I had to test some more approach.
I have delete drivers and install it one more time and update entire system one more time.. 🙄

sudo modprobe -r rtw89_8852a

sudo modprobe rtw89_8852a

greetings
 
Correct, but also update system, libs, everything I could to the latest state.
Setup router to static options like bandwith, only 5g internet without let system choose between 2.4 or 5 etc.
