I am dual booting Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04 in my Acer E5-575G-53VG.
I'm facing this issue where the internet through the wifi drops randomly for 2 - 3 minutes while on Ubuntu. The wifi signal is always full and connected but the internet in my browser says no internet. Now this works perfectly on Windows and there are no drops at all which leads me to believe this is a driver issue.
