as the title suggests, by WIFI keeps getting hard blocked randomly. This happens in middle of some video stream or even if it is idle.
I have tried disabling automatic suspend in Settings > Power as suggested in Ubuntu 20.04 wifi randomly disconnecting but to no help.
I have a RaLink RT3090 1T/1R internal WIFI adapter and a RealTek RTL8188EUS USB adapter. Both are disabled when this happens.
Below are the list of commands which @heynnema suggested in one of the comments.
I am happy to provide any other outputs as needed, please help me solve this issue.
Except for rfkill list all all other commands were executed when WIFI was not hard blocked.
