I recently switched from EndeavourOS(Arch) to Lubuntu when my HP laptop died. I got a newer old ASUS and am using that now. I had no problem running the board with Arch and the HP, but am having some issues with ASus and Lubuntu.

My wi-fi keeps changing my address on the laptop. I have an Eero router and am usining Eero+ for better security. This happens every couple or three hours.

What I have done:
 1. I have disabled powersaving. I went into Network Manager and I edited this file: /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf
I changed the wifi.powersave from a 3 to a 2.

 2. In LXQT, I turned off the screen saver.

Questions:
 1. Eero+ has it's own DNS service to help with security. Could this be affecting it? Not using 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8?
I like the extra security, but I can turn it off and lose it.

 2. I don't know anything else. Any suggestions?

Change DHCP and NAT to manual?
I do have a reservation and port forwarding set for the laptop. The address keeps changing from XXX.XXX.X.90 to 91 and vice versa. I just change the reservation address and things work again. It's just getting monotonous.
