Wifi disconnects randomly on Kubuntu 20.04 KDE Plasma Version 5.18.5 Kernel version 5.4.0-52 generic while power management is disabled

By Jessica Wood

running lspci i get:

04:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7265 (rev 59)

Power management is set to leave unchanged for all situations. Wifi shows connected but stops working. Looking at the inbuilt network upload and download speed shows a connection to the network and my router does detect the machine but I lose internet access. KDE Wallet is known to cause issues but it has been disabled (was never enabled). I have tried running on multiple bands and on both 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz.

running spci -nnk | grep -i network -A2output:

04:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Wireless 7265 [8086:095b] (rev 59) Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 [8086:5210] Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi

running rfkill list alloutput:

I have tried adding a static IP to as well as disabling IPV6 still no difference.

iwconfig gives:
