Artful (Ubuntu 17.10) is end of life soon so you may want to upgrade to Bionic (Ubuntu 18.04 which is LTS and supported until April 2023). It may resolve your issue.

For diagnostic purposes please follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WirelessTroubleshootingProcedure (at least as far as possible because of the freeze issue).

Can you help with this problem?
