If wifi connection used by your Linux box is not stable and goes up&down, with wpa_supplicant requiring some manual restart you could use a simple script that does it for you. Below you can find a script i’m using on a RaspberryPi 3 with Raspian installed.

Remember to use a value for WLAN corresponding to you wifi …
