Comment 2 for bug 1791058

Further on this bug:

The wifi I am using is a 5GH AC network.

When it disconnects, which is very often, such as every 10 minutes, sometimes it can reconnect by simply restarting the network-manager service, i.e

$ service network-manager restart

But sometimes this doesn't work and the only solution is to reboot!

This problem is really painful, I am desperate for a solution or work around as I need this laptop nearly all the time.

I do not have the courage to time to try an upgrade to 18.04 at the present time.

Any thoughts would be great!

Cheers,
Bob
