My SSD with either LM18.2 or LM19 installed appears to break the WiFi connection to my Motorola Moto G3 hot spot after just a few minutes of normal operation. Wired connection to the net is unaffected. I have tried to find a firmware upgrade to address the problem but that seemed more complicated than expected.

Re: SSD breaks Wifi
The dmesg log you attached shows the 4.8.0-53-generic kernel. Since that Kernel is no longer supported, I would try the latest 4.4 Kernel or the 4.15 Kernel for Mint 18.x.
Check this bug report.

Re: SSD breaks Wifi
I would try this and reboot
Some wifi cards have bad reactions to power management getting enabled
Code: Select all
sudo sed -i 's/wifi.powersave = 3/wifi.powersave = 2/' /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf

Re: SSD breaks Wifi SOLVED
Thanks to both ClixTrix and JeremyB,
I did try the latest kernel 4.15.0-30-generic first. I admit I had forgotten Update Manager > View > Linux Kernels does show a list of available kernels in chronological order making selecting the latest a trivial exercise. However JeremyB's command line solution did the trick, thanks very much and I will attempt to mark the thread SOLVED.
For those who have this problem and would prefer the more natural language description of the solution try:-
Edit /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf and change wifi.powersave to 2 then save and reboot.
