Public bug reported: This is a hardware specific issue with Ubuntu 18.04 and kernel 4.15.0-20-generic. The driver for the Intel AC 9560 wireless chip causes the problem. Driver location: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005511 /network-and-i-o/wireless-networking.html
The wifi connection is very slow (1MB instead of 100MB possible download speed, upload speed is normal) and is also very unreliable.
