I have an Asus PCE-AC51 PCI-E WiFi card. I just freshly installed Linux Mint. The card can connect to my WiFi network, but disconnects after an indefinite amount of time (5 minutes to an hour or so). Sometimes when it disconnects, I can no longer see the network I was connected to, but I can see other networks. Sometimes I can't immediately reconnect to my network (which has a hidden SSID), but sometimes it automatically reconnects within a few seconds. The output from iwconfig is the following:
lo no wireless extensions.
wlp4s0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"<My SSID>"
Mode:Managed Frequency:5.765 GHz Access Point:
"<My access point>"
Bit Rate=400 Mb/s Tx-Power=27 dBm
Retry short limit:7 RTS thr=2347 B Fragment thr:off
Power Management:on
Link Quality=70/70 Signal level=10 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:46 Missed beacon:0
enp3s0 no wireless extensions.
The signal level seems to oscillate between 10dBm and ~-34dBm. The output from inxi -N is the following:
Network: Card-1: Qualcomm Atheros Killer E220x Gigabit Ethernet
Controller
driver: alx
Card-2: Realtek RTL8812AE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network
Adapter
driver: rtl8821ae
lshw gives the driver version as "4.15.0-20-generic".
Any suggestions, including suggestions on 5GHz wifi cards/USB wifi adapters that will work without issues in Linux, are welcome.

Hiding your SSID can lead to information leakage from devices that are permitted to connect to it. It's not a good idea. Really.
