WiFi randomly disconnects and can't find network
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I run Ubuntu 18.10, and sometimes after I've been using my PC for a while, my WiFi randomly disconnects and it can't find any networks. This continues even after turning it off and on again. The only fix is a restart. I have already disabled wireless power saving by setting wifi.powermode in default-wifi-powersave-on.conf to 0, and this continues. What is a way to debug and fix this error? I am relatively new to Linux.
