For the past few weeks, I've been dealing with issues on my Ubuntu 22.04 LTS laptop. Essentially, my laptop disconnects intermittently - it will stay connected for about 20 seconds, then drop out for about a minute (it still says it's connected, it just doesn't receive anything over network), then connect again for 30 seconds, and so on. I can tell that it's a problem with the laptop, as no other device on the network is having these issues and the packet loss exists regardless of whether I ping the router (at 192.168.1.1) or an external DNS server. As I have a Wi-Fi extender hooked up with a separate network SSID, I'm able to force a re-connect by swapping whether I'm connected to the router or the extender, but this too will drop out after about a minute or less.

I'm not really sure which logs are relevant or how I can determine whether this is a hardware or a software issue, so I'd appreciate any help available. Thanks.

Edit: I, a fool, forgot briefly that my computer is set up for dual-boot with Windows. After some brief testing, I was able to determine that the intermittent network drop-outs do not occur on Windows, while they do on Ubuntu - thus, it seems likely to me that the issue is software related.

I also followed the advice of one of the comments, and I was able to get some information about my wireless setup. Here's a paste of the output of that wireless-info script, but nothing appears immediately wrong to my untrained eye.
