Bluetooth cutting out and reconnecting

Issues & Assistance Networking Support
1

My Bluetooth speaker connects and works for few minutes and then after a few minutes stops working then after about a minute it disconnects and reconnects immediately and resumes working and this cycle repeats. Any ideas what could be wrong?

Please edit your post.

If you include terminal outputs in your post please use the proper output format in your post.

Using “~” 3 times above and “~” 3 times below the text block will provide a readable, raw look.
