I recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 7567, and added a dual boot of Ubuntu Mate, version 17.04.

For some reason, my wireless seems to randomly disconnect every so often. I haven't noticed any new icons on the wireless icon in the top of the screen.

It will usually happen whenever I am web browsing, and I will be forced to close the tab and re-open in order to load a page.
It will also often happen when I am trying to download something. It will be downloading at a steady 1.5 MB/ps or so, and then slowly ramp down to 0 B/s.

This issue appears both when I am using Firefox which comes pre-installed, as well as Google Chrome.

This issue does not appear when I use Windows 10.

My specs:

• i5-7300HQ


• 8GB RAM


• GTX 1050
