Internet connection drops out after 1-2 hours (RTL8821AE wifi drivers)
after installing Ubuntu 16.04 my new Laptop (Asus P2520LA) I can't solve a problem I have a with my wlan/internet, so I would be very thankful if you could help me.
The problem is, that after successfully connecting to my wlan, after some hours the internet drops out suddenly while I am just surfing on a website or something. The wlan connection to my router seems to stay intact but the internet is gone. (The "connected"-icon in the upper bar does not change but a ping is not possible).
After this, a wlan reconnect is not possible (via the icon) and the only possiblity I found to reconnect is rebooting or removing and adding my driver module:
sudo modprobe -r rtl8821ae && sudo modprobe rtl8821ae
In this thread a script was posted that collects relevant information for wlan problems, so here is the output of the script exectuted just after the internet connection has dropped:

########## wireless info END ############
There is another odd thing I noticed that might be relevant: After the internet has dropped out, I can disconnect from the wlan via the icon but I can't reconnect. But after executing the analysis-script, the reconnections works just fine.
I would be very happy if you could help me with this problem. If you need any other information, tell me and I will post it.
Thanks!
EDIT: After some more searching, I found some posts/articles that describe exactly the same problem as I have:
Wireless disconnect issues Ubuntu 16.04 with RTL8821ae

Unfortunately, in some posts the problem stays unsolved and in some others, where solutions are posted, the solutions don't work for me, so I really count on your help.
Solution 1:
So I think I fixed the problem now. If the dropout does not occur within the next days, I'll mark this thread as solved.
I tried multiple strategies that have been posted on different sites. Maybe it would just be enough to install new drivers ( -> paragraph 5), but I'll list up everything in did, just in case there might be dependencies:
1. Ignore IPv6
(No direct success)
source: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2288456
Click on Network Manager -> Click 'Edit' -> Edit the wireless connection -> Click the IPv6 tab -> Set IPv6 to ignore -> click OK -> Reboot.
2. Edit wifi-resume.service
(No direct success)
source: wifi still sleeping when resume
gksudo gedit /etc/systemd/system/wifi-resume.service
Add the following:
[Unit]
Description=Local system resume actions
After=suspend.target
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/systemctl restart network-manager.service
[Install]
WantedBy=suspend.target
close the text editor.
Now do:
sudo chmod +x /etc/systemd/system/wifi-resume.service
sudo systemctl enable wifi-resume.service
reboot
3. Configurate Driver
(No direct success)
source: 16.04 LTS wifi connection lost randomly every 5 minutes
- Get details of your PCI wireless card by running sudo lshw -class network
- Get your card model info according to the product line. For instance, as you can see in the question description it says product: RTL8723BE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter so the model of my card is RTL8723BE
- Open or create /etc/pm/config.d/config and add SUSPEND_MODULES="rtl8723be"(replace rtl8723be with your own model number) Then run echo "options rtl8723be fwlps=N" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf and reboot.
Now your system should be able to reconnect automatically after sleep, and wifi connection never got lost once for me after doing this.
4. Install other drivers
(No direct success)
Source: https://medium.com/@elmaxx/rtl8821ae-wifi-drivers-in-ubuntu-16-04-4c1286524afa#.dsczz2t2w
Check, if your card is one of the following models: rtl8192ce, rtl8192se, rtl8192de, rtl8188ee, rtl8192ee, rtl8723ae, rtl8723be, and rtl8821ae
lspci | grep Wireless
Then:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential git
git clone http://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git
cd rtlwifi_new
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe rtl8821ae
Reboot.
5. Again, install different drivers
(Success!?)
