Roger, you hit the nail on the head. After reviewing a bunch of old logs, it seems that I've been having intermittent connection drops for a while (i.e., while still on F34). Previously, it seems it would just reconnect on 5 GHz - the change in F35 is that it now toggles between 5 and 2.5 and when it does, it changes my IP address, so I definitely notice.
What decides to switch frequencies - is that wpa_supplicant? NetworkManager? > It may be that prior it switched down to 2.4ghz it stayed there.
