Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS. Wifi losing connection randomly

ph flag

I have a Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS server which is connected to network via Wifi. Unfortunately after motherboad change it started disconnecting from network randomly (it works for a few days then, usually at night the connection is lost and the only thing I can do is to restart machine). There were no changes on router side. I've disabled wifi attached to motherboard and put USB wifi (different chipset) but the issue still persist so I guess it is not hardware issue.

Powersaving is off:

systemctl logs from the moment when the connection was lost:

Do you have an idea what might cause those connection issues?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
