Since a few days it's almost impossible for me to connect to the Internet wireless due to dropped packets.

I guess it's software related cause other wireless devices don't have this problem.

Some info.

Linux Mint 17.3
architecture: x86_64
kernel: 3.19.0-32-generic
wireless kernel module: r8712u

ifconfig command:

Code:

Thanks for any advice!
