I am running Xubuntu 20.04 and have a problem with wifi reconnects: Sometimes my HP notebook loses connection to the wifi router (3 meters distance, without obstacles) and then cannot reconnect. This is the corresponding excerpt from syslog:

My mobile phone connects without problems, but my Linux notebook doesn't. After a reboot, everything is fine again, but a simple sudo service network-manager restart
doesn't do the trick. Any clues?
Some wifi details:

iwlist wlp58s0 freq
, and tell me what channel your router is set to on the homewifi_5G-2 network. Start comments to me with @heynnema or I'll miss them.iwlist
shows that you're connected to channel 52. Do you have more than one wireless network, either 2.4 or 5GHz? Does your ASUS router go to channel 140... or any of the other higher channel numbers showing in theiwlist
command (high channels are better)?
