Disable power save with iw:

iw dev wlp1s0 get power_save
Power save: off

or in tlp:

# WiFi power saving mode: on=enable, off=disable; not supported by all 
adapters.
# Default: <none>
WIFI_PWR_ON_AC=off
WIFI_PWR_ON_BAT=off

or  on NetworkManager:

# File to be place under /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d
[connection]
# Values are 0 (use default), 1 (ignore/don't touch), 2 (disable) or 3 
(enable).
wifi.powersave = 2

Did not help, where else could this be configured?
