   During my attempt to run bookworm over the last 3 months I had the   
   problem of the wifi dropping as well.   
   Couldn't be arsed to find out why. Real life gets in the way.   
   My Hammer / nut solution is run a cron job every 5 min.   
   If I can't ping the router then	sleep 10   
   If I still can't ping the router sleep 20   
   If I still can't ping the router sleep 30   
   If I still can't ping the router reboot.   
      
   I suspect this won't help you but all my pi zeroes are headless and this   
   does (did) work. See my bookworm resolution in the other thread.

   It causes me a great deal of regret and remorse   
   that so many people are unable to understand what I write.
