When I leave my computer alone and it enters sleep mode, after I return it cannot connect to the WiFi unlike before. I don't alter anything, I just leave it be but upon returning it simply cannot connect to any WiFi connection.
[EDIT] My device is a Dell Inspiron 3543
I don't have any power saving settings on.
Upon executing lspci
I get this:

I get:

[/EDIT]
I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 and it's on a Dual Boot with Windows 10, if that changes anything.
What can I do to fix this issue? Thanks
lspci
in Ubuntu and copy/paste the relevant line or check the Device Manager in Windows. – Mar 25 '19 at 13:09
