For some time now, I've been noticing sporadic disconnections from the Wi-Fi. Sometimes this happens right after startup, sometimes after a few minutes, and sometimes only after an hour. Afterward, the laptop automatically reconnects to the Wi-Fi, only to lose the connection again at some point. Unfortunately, I have no idea what might be causing this or where I could look in the log files to find the cause. I’m using GNOME as my desktop environment. Can someone please help me find the cause and fix it if necessary?

First, start by asking people around you. I've been on wifi networks where is just does that, randomly disconnects and reconnects for everybody.

Once you've confirmed that the issue is not the wifi, check out: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Network_configuration/Wireless#Random_disconnections
