Thanks Andre. I am not sure how to confirm whether "the dropouts were happening exactly after the second group rekeying." The apparent behaviour fit the descriptions well, so I assumed it might be related. I saw the following command mentioned (possiblly, for diagnosis), but I was not clear on what to expect): cat /var/log/syslog | grep wpa_.*rekeying How can I confirm whether my problems are related to the second group rekeying?

[Bug 1743279] Re: QCA6174 stops working on newer kernels after second group rekeying
Actually, not an upgrade but a downgrade seems to have solved my problem. I have replaced the firmware file /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/firmware-6.bin with firmware-6.bin_WLAN.RM.4.4.1-00065-QCARMSWP-1 (which is what Ubuntu 17.10 might have had) and I have not had a single outage after a whole day. Before the change, the outages were very frequent. So, it seems that the newer firmware files does not play nicely with my WiFi. Hopefully, this could help to rectify the problem on Ubuntu 18.04 with the new driver versions.

After googling a lot, I came across this question on askubuntu.com https://askubuntu.com/questions/967355/wifi-unstable-after-17-10-update Which led me to this bug report on Debian's bug tracker: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=879184 Which led me to this bug in upstream: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/ath10k/2017-September/010088.html I've tested the proposed fixes myself and I can confirm they work. What causes the WiFi to stop working is a bug related to the group rekeying routines.

[Bug 1743279] Re: QCA6174 stops working on newer kernels after second group rekeying
It's important to notice that this bugs affects any post-4.12 kernel, so it's present in both 16.04.3 HWE and 17.10 versions. ** Description changed: After upgrading to the 4.13 kernel on Ubuntu 16.04.3, I've noticed my WiFi would stop working after every 20 minutes or so. The problem initially seems related to some DNS services crashing because of what happend in browsers and other software that usually rely on DNS but I've noticed I couldn't ping my router and other local devices for which I knew the IP addresses. The connection is still presented as being connected, but it just doesn't work.
