Bug Description
For a few times a day, my wifi disconnects when using 802.11n. If I try to connect to it manually, I cannot do that as it is missing from the list with nearby connections. I have discovered a way to connect by going to Connect to hidden Wifi Connection, select the dropdown and chose from that list my home wifi network. It works. But of course, a few hours later, it will disconnect and I have to do this again. I should mention that my wifi is not a hidden one, never has been. See the attached screen recording.
