Universal Control keeps disconnecting randomly

Ever since updating to macOS Sonoma on a M2 Ultra Mac Studio and M1 Max MacBook, Universal Control keeps dropping connection. The MacBook sits above the Mac Studio that’s mounted under the table where it’s been for a while. They are both up to date with the latest Sonoma update.

I tried restarting, logging out, and disabling universal control on both devices. Is this happening to anyone else? Has anyone found a fix?

Mac Studio, macOS 14.2

Go to network settings in the main device, then firewall, then options. Find the incoming connection called universal control. Highlight it and remove it by clicking the minus sign (+|-), then click ok. Restart. That worked for me.
