    Wifi won't stay connected to my iPhone hotspot

    Thinkpad x260 running 20.04

    Kubuntu will not stay connected to my iPhone hot-spot for more than a couple minutes. This only happens with my Linux desktop. All my other devices have no issues with this.


    This is the usual sequence of events:
    • I disable/re-enable hot-spot on my phone.
    • I disable/re-enable wife on Kubuntu
    • Kubuntu sees the phone
    • I click connect.
    • I remain connected for 2 to 10 minutes.
    • Kubuntu loses internet.
    • Kubuntu WiFi interface displays a "configuring interface" message for several minutes.
    • Kubuntu WiFi disconnects and loses sight of the iPhone hot-spot.
    I also had this issue with 18.04. And again, only with Linux. My ancient Roku has no problem remaining connected to my phone. Neither did my Windows laptop when I had one.

    What can I do to improve this?
