The problem:

It isn't exactly something I can repeat but it looks like a conflict of bluetooth and WiFi and it's causing WiFi to disconnect (all connections disappear, not just mine). Why do I think that's the problem?
This problem occurs, rather I notice it when I'm playing a youtube video on brave browser and the WiFi connections decide to just disappear all of a sudden causing the video to be stuck, there is no problem with my WiFi connection, when this problem occurs I have picked up my mobile and made a 'test' google search to see if the internet is working, it works just fine. This problem is new to me mainly because I migrated to Linux just recently it's been about a week at most.

I've tried a number of solutions, none of them help:

- Turning the battery saver mode off from the terminal.
- Turning the WiFi powersave off from the terminal.
- Installing related WiFi card drivers (they were already on the latest version).
- Reinstalling NetworkManager.

I've tried switching over to an Ethernet cable as well and sure enough it is not an internet connectivity issue, all the WiFi connections disappear not just mine, this did not used to happen in Windows 10.

Before making this post I saw another similar looking post and a user commented saying that it could be a conflict between Bluetooth and WiFi so I decided to turn bluetooth off and re-run the little experiment (a 5ish minute youtube video) the time frame in which the problem would usually occur in; and sure enough, it didn't happen. I am not really that much of a tech guy so I'd appreciate if someone can tell me how I can recreate the problem in a more efficient way. The post that I saw was a guy with a Desktop, it was titled [Solved] and the solution was that he just replaced his WiFi card... Not really something I can do. Any help is appreciated!
