I've tried at least 3 distros:
1. Manjaro - KDE Plasma (Default w Uboot)
2. Arch - Phosh (Uboot or TowBoot)
3. Mobian - Phosh (TowBoot)
There seems to be differing presentations of this issue on the various distros. Though, in the end it all boils down to the same thing: no consistent WiFi-connection. The device actually doesn't seem to acknowledge the loss-of-connection that it's experiencing until everything grinds to a halt. I have seen what you're suggesting on the sleep/suspend function, but when that occurs it's simply a matter of waiting for it to reconnect.
Though in light of the problems I had with my home WiFi, I bought a new router. This one is capable of 5.0 Ghz. Thus far the 5.0 Ghz-connectivity seems consistent, but the 2.4 Ghz band-channels either error out or are disregarded entirely (depending on the distro). I think this has to do with either the WiFi hardware of the PPP or the driver that governs the 2.4 Ghz WiFi channels.
