WIFI drops every 10 min

[plato]

As soon as I updated to 19.10 (Ubuntu Budgie) My WIFI drops every 10 minutes. I then restart, problem is solved and then again the same.

The strange thing is that I also have a laptop running MacOs and WIFI works fine. So there is no problem with my network.

Is there a solution to this?

Cheers!

See if it is better after running these 2 commands in terminal

sudo sed -i 's/wifi.powersave = 3/wifi.powersave = 2/' /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf
systemctl restart network-manager.service

Thanks but it doesn't work. WiFi stops after some minutes and I restart the computer constantly.

I checked again today by running speedtest.net on my desktop running Ubuntu 19.10 and my laptop running macOS. The download speed for Linux is 0,84 MBs, and after some time the wifi stops. The download speed on the Mac is 40Mbps!!!!

Does anybody else have the same issue? Shall I install an Ubuntu LTS version so that problem' solved?

Thanks!
