This is my system . The Wi-Fi connection is constantly lost , but it is restored itself after 10 - 20 seconds . I think that it is necessary to update the drivers , but i don"t know to do this . Or maybe i"m wrong ...
Help me , please

It doesn't show the device and driver info:
Network:
Message: No PCI device data found.
IF-ID-1: wlan0 state: up mac: <filter>
IF-ID-2: wwan0 state: down mac: <filter>
Till then, you can:
Right-click on Network icon on panel: "Edit Connections" and edit your connection:
Tick
the "All Users may ..."
While you're at it: Enter a number (whatever, 5 10 ..) rather than zero for "priority" there...
Also in next tab click the "BSSID" box and then click the (mac) number that appears (fill the box with that) .. Save ...
Also:
Code: Select all
echo -e "[device]\nwifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no" | sudo tee /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/disable-random-mac.conf
(This will create a conf file to stop it generate/scan random mac addresses)
Reboot.

Do you think the processor could be generating extra heat (i.e. working hard) when the wi-fi cuts out? Then maybe it comes back online when system temps cool down?

No , this is not related to CPU cooling . Moreover , on version 21.3 everything works flawlessly , there are no wi-fi interruptions at all .

Unfortunately , your advice did not help . It's strange that everything works on version MX 21.3
wlan0 802.11

802.11 indicates that it's a b/g/n type card. Usually with these cards the problem is that they are defaulting to the "n" protocol which is highly susceptible to interference. You can fix the problem by accessing the router and configuring it to broadcast in "g" only.

Ok, you can click the check-mark icon on that post to un-mark.

On 23 you can install the antiX 5.10 kernel from "MX Package Installer" with 2 clicks only, then boot with it using the "Advanced Options" on Grub, then try.
If still not: It may be due to Network Manager, that version (that sometimes happens, and only installing ConnMan solves it (as an alternative to NM) )
Edit: Grammar.

It’s true - in Linux, the newest is not always the best! Let's assume that the problem is solved - I returned to version 21yu3 where everything works. Thanks everyone for your help!
