I have continuous problems of network dropping connections on wifi with ubuntu 16.04, I have an ASUS R510J, this is my network card:



##### lspci #############################

03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8821AE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter [10ec:8821]
Subsystem: AzureWave RTL8821AE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter [1a3b:2161]
Kernel driver in use: rtl8821ae

Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller [1043:200f]
Kernel driver in use: r8169


sudo service network-manager restart doesnt's help, as I never regain internet connection after it drops, and I have to restart the PC. On Ethernet cable I have no problem.



What do you think is the issue? drivers?



thank you

          Install this driver from a PPA



          sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hanipouspilot/rtlwifi
          sudo apt update
          sudo apt install rtlwifi-new-dkms


          It is a better driver that should support your adapter.

          sudo apt-get install git build-essential

          cd rtlwifi_new
          make
          sudo make install


          Your WiFi will now work fine but you will need to re-install it after each kernel upgrade.
          Or this code might work:



          sudo dkms add ./rtlwifi_new
