Anyone else experiencing wi-fi problems with Beta 3? Mac mini (2018) here. I had quite a few disconnects with Beta 2, but now with Beta 3 it seems like my wi-fi goes out every few minutes or so.
Got a tip for us?

I have had constant disconnects on a 15" MacBook Pro 2018 and a 16" MacBook Pro 2019. I've been reporting the issue on both Catalina and the newer betas as well. I'm using Unifi Nano HD WAPs at my work and Unifi AC Pro HD's at home. Our work is using Sophos Router/Gateway and my home is using Unifi Security Gateway. Any correlation to that equipment for you?
Ubiquiti AmpliFi for me. I did not have any problems with Catalina. The disconnects started with Big Sur Beta 2 and have gotten worse with Beta 3.

I have had a few issues with the Amplifi as we were using those in our mobile systems for a long time before upgrading to the Sophos RED and the UniFi Nano HD. The issues were less than I have experienced at the office and at home, but we did have occasional dropouts-- all of that would have been with Catalina as Big Sur wasn't out at the time.
80% of the times I wake the MacBook from sleep it connects to my wifi but there is no internet. Turning wifi off and on restores the function. It’s been happening for at least the last two years and stop the same with big sur...
No VPN, bug reported several times.

I wonder what is causing this then?
In Beta 1,2 and 3 I haven't had a single WiFi disconnection.
What do your WiFi connections look like in here I wonder:

I have both on Catalina and Big Sure frequent WI-FI dropping. I think it was some FW Update which introduced it.
Not really sure and speculating here.
Recently I am using my Macs wired because it became super annoying.
Update
Beta 4 - zero drops today MBP 15 2015
Catalina 5 drops today MBP 16
I used both my machines in parallel for about 10 hours close to each other so I remove the weak signal in the area.
I hope it stays like this.
Catalina which is my work machine is a nightmare in terms of WIFI connectivity.
