OK. I switched the IPv6 to link-local, but haven't changed the IPv4 address yet, and things seem to have improved. But sometimes it's fine for a while, and then starts disconnecting again. What were you trying to test by changing the IP address?
I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

Changing the IP address made it disconnect immediately.

With the IPv6 turned off, it's still disconnecting.

Are you connecting that troublesome computer on a 2.4 Ghz or 5 Ghz network?
Could be that one of the radios is messed up on its wireless adapter and you are able to stay connected at your parent's because it's connecting on the other radio. If you don't know for sure, try disabling one of the frequencies on your router and see if it makes a difference. Course if your router isn't dual band, then that wouldn't be helpful.

All is well that ends in pizza.
What Gud said. Also, many routers let you check for conflicting traffic channels. It could be nearby routers in your neighborhood are using the same channel, causing interference. What model is your wifi modem/router?

The network stack in Mac OS is also notorious for grabbing what is top of the list not what is strongest or fastest. So if you have a dual band network where both of them share an SSID depending upon whether the 2.4GHz or 5GHz is on the top of the list can toss a spanner in the works.

I have successfully replaced the cracked screen on my Chromebook. It was way easier than I expected, in part because I was looking at the directions for the wrong model and my model was so much simpler.
