Perhaps this can help: The symptoms I experience started sometime during
the past year after an update (sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade &&
sudo apt autoremove) are that some indefinite time (usually less than ½
hour) after I log on, the network disconnects without warning or error.
Clicking on the up/down arrows of the indicator plugin and selecting the
interface reconnects; however, I recently discovered that if, as soon as
I log on, I select "Disconnect" and then select the adapter to
reconnect, my session will be fine until I log out and back in again. So
perhaps the bug is not with network-manager, samba or ifupdown, but with
the logon process(es). My version is 18.04 and I'm using LiteDM GTK+. I
haven't the faintest idea where to look for a cause that might be
related to the logon process(s), but none of the very many "solutions"
offered on various web pages I found on the problem have fixed it for
me.
One other unexpected thing I've noticed is that in editing Ethernet
connections (I don't used wireless enough to have noticed a problem), I
can't edit (or delete) the one the system creates without first adding
another (even if it's the same, e.g., enp2s0, with the same settings)
and switching to it; however, after I did that the first time, and
deleted the system's entry ("Wired connection 1", I think it was
called), at some point the system added another entry, identical in
every way to the one I had added, but called "Ifupdown (enp2s0)" and
connects to that when I log on, not to the one I created (which I have
since deleted, but the original problem still occurs, and disconnecting
and reconnecting still prevents the random disconnect).
All of this applies to 2 other machines, also running up-to-date xubuntu
18.04, although on one of the other machines, the adapter is enp4s25. It
also occurs with xubuntu and xfce sessions. I suspect the difficutly in
finding the cause(s) is in part due to the confusing way samba/network
settings are stored, with the same setting sometimes stored in different
locations, entered via GUI or command line or both, possibly leading to
conflicts.
I have spent many hours on this problem, and have only the above work-
around, not a fix. Even though this problem has been around longer than
18.04, since 18.04, samba has clearly been broken, and until networking
is as reliable and as easy to set up as in Windows, (x/l/k)ubuntu will
not be suitable for typical home users.

Title:
Internet drops every few minutes on wired and wireless connection
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Internet drops every 1-30 minutes when connected via wired or wireless
(i.e., this is a problem on both wired and wireless) even though
connection icon indicates the computer is still connected.
Disconnecting and reconnecting via the connection icon resets internet
temporarily until the next time.
Dropped internet is discovered with "The site can't be reached"
screens in Chromium, or error messages when downloading/updating in
Terminal, or missing connection in Ubuntu Software app, or stalled
syncing in Insync application (occurred even without Insync).
Internet drops more frequently on wireless than on wired.
It seems to disconnect more frequently with heavier internet use
(e.g., downloading multiple files, opening several webpages in quick
succession).
This is a fresh install (yesterday) of Ubuntu 16.04 on a Dell Inspiron
15 5567 (dual boot). It occurs when running Live CD as well though.
Ethernet and wifi both work without randomly disconnecting in Windows
10 on the same machine, and ethernet and wifi work on other machines
running Ubuntu and Windows with the same router, so it is not a
hardware or router issue.
