Progress with wireless troubles

My previous change to wireless access point settings turned out not to cure my laptop wifi connectivity breaks after all. The error message stopped but it would still occasionally lose the connection. Previously the cure was to power-cycle the access point but since its configuration change I have been able to recover the connection simply by restarting dhcpcd which maybe also somehow restarts wpa_supplicant. My laptop runs Void Linux which does not naturally come with iwconfig; instead I have been in the less-intuitive world of iw: I issued a set power_save off to see if that helped and indeed so far it has. I do not see a way to set it per-network in wpa_supplicant.conf though.
