Ubuntu – WiFi randomly disconnected on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

18.04wireless

I installed Ubuntu 18.04 LTS in this week and now I have a problem with wifi connection. The WiFi connection auto disconnected every 5 – 10 minutes but wifi signal is still fine.
I did a search, found some answers for older versions of Ubuntu and tried it but the problem was not resolved.
Here is my wireless adapter information:

Try disabling wifi power management by opening /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf and changing 

wifi.powersave = 3

to 

wifi.powersave = 2

Do not set it to 0, which is the default value. From nm-setting-wireless.h: 

/**
 * NMSettingWirelessPowersave:
 * @NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_POWERSAVE_DEFAULT: use the default value
 * @NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_POWERSAVE_IGNORE: don't touch existing setting
 * @NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_POWERSAVE_DISABLE: disable powersave
 * @NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_POWERSAVE_ENABLE: enable powersave
 *
 * These flags indicate whether wireless powersave must be enabled.
 **/
typedef enum {
    NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_POWERSAVE_DEFAULT       = 0,
    NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_POWERSAVE_IGNORE        = 1,
    NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_POWERSAVE_DISABLE       = 2,
    NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_POWERSAVE_ENABLE        = 3,
    _NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_POWERSAVE_NUM, /*< skip >*/
    NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_POWERSAVE_LAST          =  _NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_POWERSAVE_NUM - 1, /*< skip >*/
} NMSettingWirelessPowersave;
