I have two USB - one is inbuilt my laptop which uses driver rtl8723be, and another netgear USB adapter which uses driver rtl8192cu. 
Both of them are dropping the connection. 

I tried #55 and now 8192cu doesn't load at all rendering my USB adapter
useless. rtl8723be seems to be better. Connection drops have become
lesser, although they are still there. And when it happens I can simply
disconnect and reconnect to the wifi. No need to unload and reload the
driver module.
