Mint keeps disconnecting from wifi

[ThinkPad]

Hi, wondering if someone can help, my Mint keeps disconnecting from the wifi, with the connection box showing that the password has been entered and I keep having to press connect. I've checked the connection settings and the boxes are ticked for making the connection available for other users, which is the only thing I could find on a search. What am I missing?

Could be a wrong or missing wi-fi driver, in the terminal run inxi -Nn and post back the result

Thanks for the response. I'll check, but if it was wrong or missing, then it wouldn't work at all?

These are the inxi -Nn results

Network:
Device-1: Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200 driver: iwlwifi
IF: wlp3s0 state: up mac: 58:94:6b:a9:8e:f4
Device-2: Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet
driver: r8169
IF: enp4s0 state: down mac: 60:eb:69:b2:6d:a2

The wi-fi drivers look fine to me, have you tried clearing the connection manager and reconnecting to the wi-fi

Hi I had the same problem I put on a fresh install and it worked for me may not work for you but maybe worth a try less you have important files on there and back them up first.

It is a fresh install, been on here a few weeks.

Today is the worst it's ever been, disconnecting every 10 mins or so, asking for authentication, which it already has.

Oh that is not good I will have a look

Thanks for the info so far, I think that's sorted it.

Is your wifi still dropping out?
