I too have similar problem on ubuntu 18.04. I never tried with wire connection, but my wifi connection repeatedly failing after few minutes. I tried several solutions. I installed driver=r8168 driverversion=8.046.00-NAPI after downloading from realtek software download but no good result.
lshw -C network gives me following informations: *-network description: Ethernet interface product: RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller vendor: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:02:00.0 logical name: enp2s0 version: 10 serial: 70:4d:7b:3b:3a:ee capacity: 1Gbit/s width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress msix vpd bus_master cap_list ethernet physical tp 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd 1000bt-fd autonegotiation configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=r8168 driverversion=8.046.00-NAPI latency=0 link=no multicast=yes port=twisted pair resources: irq:127 ioport:d000(size=256) memory:ef404000-ef404fff memory:ef400000-ef403fff *-network description: Wireless interface product: QCA9377 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter vendor: Qualcomm Atheros physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:03:00.0 logical name: wlp3s0 version: 31 serial: f0:03:8c:07:59:17 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress bus_master cap_list ethernet physical wireless configuration: broadcast=yes driver=ath10k_pci driverversion=4.15.0-42-generic firmware=WLAN.TF.1.0-00002-QCATFSWPZ-5 ip=192.168.1.5 latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11 resources: irq:129 memory:ef200000-ef3fffff I am badly affected.
