wifi drops out

[Tse]

Thanks so much

The wifi works for a few minutes, or even an hour or so, before it
stops. Sometimes I get to load a single webpage, sometimes several
websites. I tried running without X11, so no browser, etc. Ping
worked, but later the wifi still dropped out

I reset the router, but still drops out

Those terminal details are here:

rc.conf is this, but have tried variations on that:
wpa_supplicant_enable="YES"
#wpa_supplicant_program="/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant"
#wpa_supplicant_program="/raven/sbin/wpa_supplicant"
wpa_supplicant_program="/usr/local/sbin/wpa_supplicant"
wlans_iwm0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"
dhcp_client="dhcpcd"
dhcpcd_enable="YES"

loader.conf:
legal.intel_iwm.license_ack=1
if_iwm_load="YES"
iwm7260fw_load="YES"

So can you clarify: does it work for a few minutes then stop; does it say it is working but then prove not too; or does it seem to work only until you need more than today's headline story or the Google splash?
