Weird Timed Wifi Network Cut Off

Post by Uncle Tim »

For the past couple of weeks, if I use my laptop more than an hour, at around two hours of use, give or take 15 or 20 minutes, the network suddenly cuts off. I click a link, and I get "cannot connect to server," in either Firefox or Chromium. The system (Mint 20.3 Xfce) shows a connection, but there is none. Restarting the system fixes it; logging out then back in again does not. It has become maddening.

Does anyone have any idea what it could be?

Thank you.
