Macbook pro (M1, 2020) is disconnecting from wifi

My macbook has suddenly started disconnecting from wifi then reconnecting. It happens a few times a minute. It is not a problem with the wifi because my phone is fine. Thanks for your help. I'm running Sonoma.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.4

First is "Open Wireless diagnostics", which opens the wireless diagnostics Assistant, but does not proceed.

Your Admin password will be required. If any recommendations are shown, you should consider then seriously.
