Wi-Fi randomly disconnecting and reconnecting

I am new to Zorin, I am using a brostrend usb wifi device to connect to my network, Recently the connection has been randomly losing connection, and after about 30 seconds reconnects. I don't know why, I have tried "sudo apt-get update" but that doesn't solve my problem, any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would inspect your local connection, first.
Try running Traceroute and see if you see packet loss and also narrow down where the loss is occurring. If you see no packet loss past your computer or router, then you can look at your computer for the cause.

I could be wrong... just in my own experience, whenever I experienced poor connection or connection loss- the cause was always outside of my machine.

here is the traceroute:

I don't see anything major there on ping. Have you called your ISP to have them examine your router?

If those fail, you may try looking at your system:

Check your power settings:

Nope, Power settings are not interfering, and there are multiple devices connected to Wifi i.e. 2 Xbox's 3 Mobile phones and a few Alexa's, and this is the only one that disconnects and reconnects. I am thinking it may have something to do with the bros trend wifi driver, perhaps it needs to be updated? but I'm not sure how to tackle that. here's the info:

driver rtl8812au

That's more like it - appears to be a kernel issue:

I only suggested the power option as it is sometimes overlooked by Technicians where I work when I have to remind them that after a fresh Winblows install the adapter is set to turn power off to save battery (Notebook) - but even ethernet has this setting too (on both Notebook and Desktops!)
