A fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04, no errors, using WIFI but after I go the website speedtest.net or download large files the Wifi disconnects completely.

Also, looked up the issue and followed this tutorial: https://www.intel.co.uk/content/www/uk/en/support/articles/000005480/network-and-i-o/ethernet-products.html

and still no luck.

Network card: Intel 82579V Gigabit

Ubuntu version: 16.04

IfConfig:

ifconfig

Initially, the connection is fine but upon downloading large updates or files it disconnects and have to restart in order connect back to wifi.

    Please edit the question to include results from terminal for lsusb; iwconfig. You likely do not have an Intel wifi device as they haven't made a USB model in years, the Intel device you found is ethernet

Direct driver downloads helped me with this issue. After getting the right driver's, installed them and did a apt-get update/upgrade rebooted the system and was good to go no issues.

Here is the web site for intel driver's.
