I have (at least) one problem with my wifi on my Lenovo E480 Notebook running Ubuntu 16.04 with a Realtek b822 wireless card. I can't really pin down what the real problem is.
I observed the listed problems below. Sometimes together, sometimes alone. After reconnecting to the network they are sometimes solved, sometimes not:
- Most of the time really slow connection (0.1 Mbit/s compared to 100 Mbit/s with Ethernet)
- Using
ping 8.8.8.8
I found out that I get a lot of packet loss. Sometimes it says 'Destination host unreachable' but I am still connected to the wifi. - It's really unpredictable. It may work good for hours and suddenly decide to stop working. Or it works 5min before I need to reconnect again and again.
I'm mainly using my home network (WPA2) and the 'eduroam' network at university. The "Destination host unreachable"-problem seems to occur more in the university network. The wifi connection at home is always slow. (Just for the notebook, not for other devices.)

This problem also happened to me. Turning off IPv6 helped me.
