I just installed UBUNTU 14.04 LTS on a Toshiba Satellite C655D. My wifi drops off occasionally, and all I have to do to reconnect is disable my wifi and enable wifi from the wireless icon in the top right. Its just annoying.
Any help would be appreciated, I am new to UBUNTU, but interested in learning the linux commands. Luckily some commands are similar to DOS and batch code.
I use a router and have no issues with other wireless devices at the moment, including another laptop running 14.04, but it is an older Aspire One.
Here is the info from the wireless_script that I found on the forum:

======== Done ========
First in your router change
802.11bgnto802.11bg.Second change the wep encryption to just wpa2 (CCMP)(AES) not (TKIP) if you have that option it will work best.
Third set your wireless channel in the router to 1 or 11 then save the router configuration and reboot it.
Fourth go into network manager at top right corner of the screen and click on edit connections>wireless tab and set IPV6 to ignore.
Now open the terminal CTRL+ALT+_T then copy and paste the following code one line at a time for accuracy:
I had the same problem - I was lazy so I did only No. 4
"go into network manager at top right corner of the screen and click on edit connections>wireless tab and set IPV6 to ignore"
...and it worked! Thanks
