Wireless stops working overtime - still shows I am connected - requires reboot to fix

Can you give the output of:

sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a; uname -a; sudo rfkill list; dmesg | grep -i firm

Thanks

Okay, I did this while my internet is working, do you need me to do this when It is not working aswell?

ok when the connection drops, can you ping 8.8.8.8 over the conenction?

Yea, I will do that. It might be an hour or so before it drops again though since I just got on.

--- 8.8.8.8 ping statistics ---
10 packets transmitted, 9 received, 10% packet loss, time 9012ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 34.026/35.780/38.375/1.542 ms

ok, run:

echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null

Does it make the web work once more?

Nope, that didn't fix it.
