    create a new file /usr/local/bin/restart_wifi.sh
    and put below script in it.

    ping -c4 192.168.1.1 > /dev/null

    if [ $? != 0 ]
    then
    echo "No network connection, restarting wlan0"
    sudo systemctl daemon-reload
    sleep 5
    sudo systemctl restart dhcpcd
    fi

    then

    Now make it executable:
    sudo chmod 775 /usr/local/bin/restart_wifi.sh

    Then add it to a crontab

    */5 * * * * /usr/bin/sudo -H /usr/local/bin/restart_wifi.sh >> /dev/null 2>&1

    This command will check every 5 minute if wifi is stopped or not.
