Wireless interface (wlan0) Authorisation supplicant timed out

As title says since last snapshot I get the above notification from Network Management and wifi drops and reconnects, timings seem random after a few hours but sometimes within minutes of getting the notification it will do it again

Hard to tell,
but it looks to me likely that the problem is on your AP end…
Is your AP busy with plenty of clients connected at that moment? For instance is this a small home or a business or WiFi Hotspot environment?
Any heavy users?
Anyone else experiencing dropped connections?

Or, it might be a radio issue?
Particularly noteworthy is that NM is complaining about simply not detecting a signal, then later appears again.

TSU

Small home system just a media server, cctv server, laptop and phone I’m the only user.
Not noticed the others dropping out, but have swapped out the access point and will monitor to see if that cures it.

Thanks for your help so far
