I found the below answer to fix my intermittent Wi-fi connection:

Ubuntu connect drops. Worked for a while then started dropping again

Questions:

  • Can someone explain in plain English why would this work, because my connection was never asking for any other router's authorization?

  • Can someone also explain why the MAC device address entry is entered in the BSSID, while there is another MAC device entry in the same pop-up box? What is the conceptual difference between the two?

The reason assigning a mac address worked is because you had several networks that your computer was picking up all at or stronger then your connection so your computer was roaming continually from the strongest signal network to the next.

BSSID is the MAC address of your router.

The other MAC address is the MAC address of your wireless device.
