I have disconnections every 5/10/20 min random from WiFi only when I'm in a space where there are multiple AP(Ruckus + Zonedirector) with the same SSID.
When there is only one AP(Ruckus) is stable.
it's look like the roaming is not working properly.

The only solution I have found is to go to Network Connection and set BSSID static like here https://askubuntu.com/a/40083/78090
