My rpi3B loses connection with the local area network quite often. At the same time the internet connectivity to flightaware work perfectly. I manually turned off the power-save with “sudo iw wlan0 set power_save off” and this apparently has kept the LAN connectivity for hours now.
The question where do I put this command (or others) to make this change permanent. I do not see it in the piaware-config file.
Thank you!

You could add a line to your crontab to run that command on boot.
@reboot sudo iw wlan0 set power_save off
I did this last weekend on my secondary/test station. I tried a few things. I believe the one that really worked was add
iwconfig wlan0 power off
to /etc/rc.local just above exit 0.
After reboot, run iwconfig to confirm power mgmt is really off.
