Bug Description
Since upgrading to 16.04, my wifi has seemed a lot more flaky, it'll drop out for 20s every few minutes then come back. network manager still thinks that it is connected, but websites will fail to load/time out. Reconnecting to the AP (by clicking on it in network-manager) seems to re-establish the connection. I typically sit 6ft from the access point so the signal is strong and much stronger than any nearby APs.
WORKAROUND: Disable 40MHz bands on my router.
