[Bug 1516852] [NEW] wireless connection drops despite full signal

 

Public bug reported:

This has been an issue since 14.04, but it is much more frequent now.

I have an issue where, despite seeing a full signal, I have no
connection. when I try:

ping -c 5 google.com

I get

ping: unknown host google.com

and nothing that requires an internet connection works either.

But this works:

ping -c 5 127.0.1.1

Once I toggle the hardware off/on, it works again without issue.
