Problem with dropping internet and slow wireless connection…Complete N00B

I've recently installed Ubuntu 17.10 on a Macbook Pro (Mid 2012). It's not dual boot so is my only os. I've noticed a few problems with the internet connection, the first being that I am only averaging around 20mb download speeds when I was receiving my usual 80mp/s on Mac OS and this is still the case when doing a speed test on my iPhone and android tablet.
The other issue is that my wireless internet connection will die after awhile, sometimes after 2 mins, sometimes 2 hours, requiring a reboot to restore the signal.
I'm quite computer literate, but linux is completely new to me so when searching for solutions, although I can find similar problems, I can't seem to find a solution for my particular wireless adapter. Is there anybody willing to reply with a step by step guide to a solution? I would really appreciate it. I'm enjoying my linux experience so far, but this has put a huge dampener on my enthusiasm and I'm considering switching back because of it.
Running lspci -nnk | grep 0280 -A3 gives me the following.....
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Limited BCM4331 802.11a/b/g/n [14e4:4331] (rev 02)

lo no wireless extensions.
I do have another problem setting up a dual boot with windows, but I'll leave that to see if I can get a solution to these issues first.
Thank you all in advance....

Let's start by identifying your wireless device and see if it has the correct driver. We will use the terminal because we can gather the information quickly and accurately. Please open a terminal Ctrl+Alt+t and run:lspci -nnk | grep 0280 -A3Next, edit your question to add the result. Welcome to Ask Ubuntu.

Try to check the router's settings first. Here is the detailed instruction 192.168.l.l with its help I can solve issues with Internet connection and Wi-Fi in a few clicks. Hope it works out in your case too.
