There is a Ubuntu forum post here wireless disconnects periodically (RTL8191SEvB Wireless LAN Controller (rev 10)) which deals with your problem however I would try this first

rmmod r8192se_pci

then

modprobe r8192se_pci hwwep=0

if this doesn't work then reboot and everything will be back to normal if it works then you can add it as a permanent fix to /etc/modprobe.d/realtek.conf

and add this line

options r8192se_pci hwwep=0

Hope this helps

Ubuntu – Realtek RTL8188CE network adapter repeatedly drops connection

You mention that you aren't comfortable compiling and installing a driver, but unfortunately you can't do this without that. Fortunately, because of the pain I went through personally, I have made it as easy as possible for you. I fixed the compile issues on 13.04 with the RTL8188CE driver and put detailed instructions for install up on my Git Hub.

This version fixes the compile error and also fixes the hard-coded Tx Power value that was set to 22 dBm.

First install Git and build dependencies:

sudo apt-get install git
apt-get install gcc build-essential linux-headers-generic linux-headers-`uname -r`

Then clone the repo. I like to make a directory in my home folder and put it there:

cd ~
mkdir gitclone && cd gitclone
git clone https://github.com/FreedomBen/rtl8188ce-linux-driver/blob/master/README.md
cd rtl8188ce-linux-driver

Then follow the instructions in README.md

EDIT: 22-Jan-2015

It is now even easier. Install git:

sudo apt-get install git

and run this command

git clone https://github.com/FreedomBen/rtl8188ce-linux-driver.git && cd rtl8188ce-linux-driver && ./install.sh`

Get an internet connection(i got through wifi). Use the command:

sudo apt-get install r8168-dkms

Enter your password. This will install the latest version of the driver. Ethernet connection should be established after installing (you may reboot & check again).
