    Wifi Keeps Dropping. NOT DUAL BOOTING

    Alright all, I am pretty new to Linux all together so as much help as I can on this issue would really help. I am unable to stay connected to wifi. It usually takes between 5-10 min before I disconnect.. I then have to re open wicd and hit the connect button again which recoonncets me again for another 5-10 min. There is no fixed time to this it is pretty random. If i restart the computer it always starts up connected and then Dcs.

    This issue does not happen with Ethernet connection only wifi.

    Kali Linux 2017.1 is my main operating system on the pc and i am not dual booting. I have downloaded WICD and that is what i am using as the network manager was unable to let me connect once the first dc occurs (i would have to restart the pc)

    Here is some info. Please let me know what to do. I have gave some info on my hardware and wlan connection settings below. If any further info is needed please let me know. I am pretty new to linux all together.

    I haved same problem...
    To solve it I tried the following:
    1. edit "/etc/resolv.conf" and changed nameserver from "192.168.0.1" to "8.8.8.8".
    2. edit "/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf" and changed "managed=false" to "managed=true".
    now is working,or try to turn off bluetooth,and then reconnect.
