I'm on vacation this week, and my computer is having issues with the WiFi here. It connects to the network and then promptly drops the connection, reconnects, drops, etc, roughly every second. I can actually successfully browse and download things during the instant it is connected, but obviously this is not a usable situation. I am using NetworkManager, but I also tried connecting with wpa_supplicant instead, and the results were the same. I've tried with WiFi power saving on and off. I also tried the latest kernel (4.17.11) as a shot in the dark, but no luck. Any other ideas?
I can provide logs and terminal output as needed, but I will probably not be very quick I'm answering such requests due to being on vacation.

Same deal a while back; this worked for me:
open this file --> /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/00-dhcp-client.conf
