WiFi disconnects for few seconds and resumes
In Kubuntu, strangely enough, Wifi completely goes off for about 5 to 30 seconds and then reconnects again. What can be cause of this problem?
My Laptop info: Kubunu 15.10 KDE plasma 5.4.2 Kernel Version 4.2.0-27-generic
let me know which other info I need to share. (this guy shares alot of info and nobody answered!)

Edit 1: I tried this asnwer but it didnt work.
Edit 2: I collect a set of questions without answers with the same problem of mine:1 2 3 4 5 6
You need an internet connection:
Run the following command:
sudo apt-get remove --purge bcmwl-kernel-source
install build-essential and linux-headers
sudo apt-get update && apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-generic
install or reinstall wpa_supplicant
sudo apt-get --reinstall install wpasupplicant
install b43 firmware
sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer
and
sudo apt-get --reinstall install bcmwl-kernel-source
load the driver
sudo modprobe b43
and
sudo ifdown wlan0
sudo ifup wlan0
You can reboot
