Recently installed MX Linux and KDE and my wifi keeps disconnecting for half a second then reconnecting. KDE doesnt tell me that but Facebook and Spotify keep saying I'm offline then right away back online. I checked dmesg and saw this :
wlan0: disconnect from AP 4a:bd:ce:15:85:33 for new auth to 4a:bd:ce:1c:85:34
wlan0: authenticate with 4a:bd:ce:1c:85:34
wlan0: disconnect from AP 4a:bd:ce:1c:85:34 for new auth to 4a:bd:ce:15:85:33
wlan0: authenticate with 4a:bd:ce:15:85:33
This happens over and over.
The fix for me was :
- right click the systray wifi icon
- go to configure network connections
- click wifi tab at top
- click drop down for BSSID and manually pick BSSID
