Bug Description

I have a problem with WIFI not being stable, and disconnecting -> reconnecting, all the time (I have PC next to the router). It happens like every 10 seconds average (one time it happened twice in a row, and another time I got 30 seconds without disconnect).

Specs:
OS: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS (On 20.10 same issue)
Wifi card: Qualcomm Atheros AR93xx Wireless Network Adapter (ath9k)
Motherboard: MSI X470 Gaming Plus Max
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600
wpasupplicant: 2:2.9-1ubuntu4.1

I've tried so far: disabling IPV6, disabling powersave mode, creating ath9k.conf and adding parameters, setting manually BSSID and MAC adress, installing backport-iwlwifi-dkms, installing firmware-ath9k-htc, using 2,4G network.

What I expect:
Wifi network stable without single drop.
