I’ve been having trouble getting WiFi to work reliably on my laptop with Ubuntu 16.04.3 and MATE 1.12.1. I can connect to the network, but Firefox and the terminal both time out whenever I try to do anything, despite System Moniter showing that I am transmitting and receiving (tiny) amounts of data. Occasionally itll suddenly start working again for a minute or two before stopping again. I don’t think it’s my router, as my phone works fine, but Ethernet works fine. Does anyone know what this is and how to fix it?
