Randomly Losing Connection

I have a fresh install of Manjaro Linux w/ xfce on stable and the wifi is randomly disconnecting.

Please provide some system information. Please read:

The system does not appear to be fully updated:
stable 6.5.12-1 is current as of today. 6.5.13 already has been marked EOL.

Have you tried a LTS kernel, either 6.1 or 6.6?

Have you looked into wifi powersave options e.g. in tlp.conf?

# Wi-Fi power saving mode: on=enable, off=disable.
# Default: off (AC), on (BAT)

WIFI_PWR_ON_AC=off
#WIFI_PWR_ON_BAT=on
Or disable network manager powersave:

Disable Wifi power saving:

You can disable Network Manager's power saving features by creating /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf with the following command::

sudo touch /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf

Add the following contents to the newly created conf file with your preferred text editor:

[connection]
wifi.powersave = 0


Reboot or restart Network Manager

I believe now that this issue is mainly related to poor connection, because I’ve been using other wifi networks and I am not facing the same problem.

By the way, I believe my system is updated although I am not very sure since I’m a newbie.
I ran pacman -Syyu and it returned:

:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 multilib is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
 there is nothing to do

Looks up to date to me.
To be triple sure you can sort mirrors;

sudo pacman-mirrors -f && sudo pacman -Syu

Then it does sound like an issue at least related to that one network, rather than your manjaro system or wireless card/module.
