I am using ASUS-TUF-Gaming-F15-FX506HC. When I start the laptop the wifi works for some minutes then it doesn't work. Sometimes I cannot see the wifi options. Please help and thanks in advance.
Never heard such thing, but I hope there's a terminal command out there to refresh Wi-Fi settings, I don't think you need to apply the command for settings window as this looks limited to Wi-Fi. I searched wi-fi refresh command for linux on Google and found some commands but never apply commands without a reverse command that restore previous state, just for safety, you risk getting more problems than actual ones.
Sorry you're having problems. I'd like to get a bit more info if possible:
when the problem occurs open a terminal ctrl-alt-t
and type journalctl -xe
review and share the output of this in-post, it may hold some of the answers, but more information is not a bad thing.
I also wanted to know, when this happens does all internet traffic go away?
try running a simple ping command in the background to a reliable source, as well as to your local interface.
open a few more terminals: ctrl-alt-t
and then run(one per terminal) ping 1.1.1.1
and the ip address of the interface in question: ping [YOUR-IP-HERE]
Sorry for the late reply, Here are the outputs,
journalctl -xe:

I'm confused as the journalctl shows a clear disconnect from wireless, however the ping shows no packets dropped. Is this machine hard wired in as well?
I'm curious about a few of the logs as well the driver in use currently.
Ensure your system is up to date: sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade
It would appear that the driver version in use is outdated, however feedback also shown here is that upgrading the driver to a newer version may help.
I note that you are running: driver=r8169 driverversion=5.15.0-67-generic
I would suggest removing this one, and installing the following to test, be sure to record any steps taken and relevant information about the driver being removed in case it does not work as intended.
Currently, I am using the ethernet connection with my device as I cannot use the wifi. And installing the recommended package did not resolve the issue.
I do believe you will need to verify the driver has loaded for that device by doing: hwinfo --netcard | grep -i WLAN -A10 | grep -i driver
If you would share the output of that, or if it fails to provide the driver the output would still be helpful.
From that output you should see the modprobe <<driver>>, please also share the output of: dmesg | grep -i '<<driver>>' replacing <> with the one from above please.
given the output shared I don't believe the driver has loaded.
It would appear that this driver isn't loading. It's listed, which I perceive to be a good thing, however you will need to wait for someone with more knowledge of drivers unfortunately. My knowledge beyond this is about as good as yours. Sorry
?
