Disabled wifi on both installed systems. After several days of observing it, it has not happened again.

For future reference by others, you need to tell us which method you used to disable the wifi.
HP 15; ryzen 3 5300U APU; 500 Gb SSD; 8GB ram
HP 17; ryzen 3 3200; 500 GB SSD; 12 GB ram
Idea Center 3; 12 gen i5; 256 GB ssd;

In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.

With all due respect, Huckleberry Finn, I asked him not you. The reason I asked at all was that after Dolphin Oracle posted his solution, Keos made this remark:
That is exactly what I have been doing and as time goes by, when I check it, I see that it is connected again....
and then made no further comment in this thread until post #11 where he simply stated that he disabled wifi in both his systems.

Have you ever wondered why post #2 was marked as solved? Or clicked on the [Solved] link ?

If it was on #1 or on any post belonging to the OP himself, we would all say that it was clicked just to mark the thread (as , sadly, many users do wrongly).

(Though I, too thought it was a contradiction: "I tried that several times, didn't work, but that's the solution" )

I think the solution was to desactivate wifi in the two systems (i never try it before) -- i was just desativating the wifi in MX-21 and it didn't work.

... but they're separate from each other and the Xfce of (say) MX 21 does that when you enable/disable using the gui, and shouldn't affect the other one (MX 19 in this case) and the vice versa...

I don't understand either, but that was the only thing I did.... unless the system is hacked and "someone" does something ... -- which, in my case, is very likely.

EDIT:

Maybe I should disable the wifi service from the modem but it's too complicated for me to do that. :frown:
