** Description changed: - Xubuntu 18.04 installed on a new Lenovo IdeaPad 330S; system is up to date (I run Software Updater pretty much daily). + Xubuntu 18.04 installed on a new Lenovo IdeaPad 330S; system is up to date (I run Software Updater pretty much daily). lsb_release -rd tells me: Description: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS Release: 18.04 I am connected to the internet via a wireless router and although the desktop panel network icon tells me I am always connected to the router, every so often the actual internet connection stops working -- as in, I am connected to the router, but websites won't load or Firefox will say I am offline. If I click the network icon on the desktop panel and uncheck and then re-check "Enable Networking", the computer reconnects to the router and the internet connection works again, at least for a while. I cannot discern any specific pattern to this behaviour; it seems to happen randomly -- but often enough to be really disruptive. Other devices connected to the same router (two Android phones and an older laptop running Linux Mint) do not have this problem. + EDIT: Even when I do stay connected, the connected speed is often + ridiculously slow, at 1 Mb/s -- as opposed to e.g. 144 Mb/s on another + device connected to the same router. Restarting the network as above + seems to solve the issue for a short while -- although I'm not sure, + since clicking on "Connection Information" then lists "Speed" as + "Unknown". After a while it then goes back to "1 Mb/s". + My apologies if I didn't report this correctly or left out anything important; I am just an end user and not an expert. Please let me know if I need to provide any further information.
