WiFi disconnect, display showing "Unknown"

This is happening a lot lately. Sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes after an hour, but consistently.
Wifi strength shows 96%, it's on a fixed IP.
I'm on 6.4.0RC firmware right now, as some reported that made the disconnects better.
When the printer is connected to Wifi, it seems pretty consistently connected to PrusaConnect. 
The ESP32 camera has a consistent connection.

I need tips, it's driving me nuts.

RE: WiFi disconnect, display showing "Unknown"

Even with strong WiFi and updated firmware (6.4.0RC), Prusa printers can still disconnect due to power-saving settings, crowded network channels, or router interference. Try disabling WiFi sleep mode, setting a fixed 2.4GHz channel, and isolating the printer on a dedicated SSID. Keep firmware updated and check forums for user-shared fixes.

I have a mesh network and the network extender was 1m away from my printer. I was getting dropouts until I moved it to the other side of the room. I guess too strong of a network connection can also cause this (in my case)
