[xubuntu-users] Dropped connection, HP Stream

[Ted Parks]

The wireless connection drops on my HP Stream 11 running Xubuntu 16.04
unless I am close to an AP.

I am currently using a USB wireless adapter with a Realtek RTL8188EUS chip.
But I had the same problem with Ubuntu 16.04 using the onboard Broadcom
BCM43142 card.

I am especially baffled by the same issue even when using two different
cards and drivers.

iwconfig:
wlxec086b0c3f21 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:"ATT6YXb2IG" Nickname:"<WIFI at REALTEK>"

          Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0

This is something beyond a driver problem, right? How can I fix it?
