KDE wifi keeps disconnecting intermittently

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
