My WIFI internet disconnects, modem connected

Hello There,
I Have an HP Convertible X360 11ab1xx laptop. The wifi card is an RTL8821CE.
It is multi-booted with Win10,Ubuntu 20.04, FatDog 811 and EasyOS.
Bionic 8.5 will run nicely from Thumb Drive and connect to wifi without problem but will not install. Fossapup will not connect to wifi nor will Easyos.
So I defaulted to Ubuntu 20.04, it has performed well enough up until a couple of months ago when it started to spuriously drop internet connection, so in came FatDog, which connected easily, but it to now loses internet connection also. Curiously both systems show an active connection to to my router. Windows10 wifi connection is stable but I only use it on the very odd occasion.
USB sharing from my phone works well enough but running a cable to a phone pretty well negates the advantage of a laptop.
I have been running Puppy Linux since late version 4 and I prefer Puppy over all others, simple and elegant, although Easyos looks and feels good except that it will not connect via wifi.
Does anyone have any suggestions please.
Thanks Russ.
