you just wipe /et/netplan and create:

ogra at pi4:~$ sudo cat /etc/netplan/00-wlan-config.yaml 
network:
  version: 2
  wifis:
    wlan0:
      access-points:
        MY_AP_XXXXX: {password: XXXXXXXXXX}
      addresses: []
      dhcp4: true
      nameservers: {}
ogra at pi4:~$ 

and it should just work after a reboot or "sudo netplan apply"

well, my NAS box just runs the nextcloud snap, easier to set up, no
tinkering needed, integrates with my phone (for photos) etc ... 
old age gets me lazy i guess :)

i have some boards (the ones running gitea and fabrica, i.e. the ones
doing a lot of building [1],[2]) with active cooling.

one selfbuilt [3] and one with an ICE-Tower [4] (using the same
transistor/resistor electronics and the same control software)

in general the boards usually stay around 50°C if you dont actuvely
build software on them or do other heavyweight stuff and only throttle
above 60°C IIRC. but even when thorttling they should not produce
actual hangs of the shell session. 

Did switching to WLAN help in any way ? 

ciao
