Linux Elementary OS Constantly WiFi Dropping
I searched a little more, and found out this solution, which worked perfectly!
Since I had a Realtek wireless card 3290, I found the solution here: LINK
The first one example,
NOT OFFICIAL DRIVERS FOR Kernel 4.X
This solved my problems! Hope this post will help others too.

Two days ago, I installed Elementary OS on my ASUS K550L. Everything looks just perfect, but since first hour of exploring the system, my WiFi connection keeps dropping every several minutes.
I checked and restarted my router, but no solution. After searching the internet for solution, I got THIS, but there is a part with editing text file:
gksu gedit /etc/pm/config.d/unload_modules
and there is an error message popping out when I try to save the file, saying that the file does not exist.
I'm really loving this distro, but as I'm new to Linux, I can't seem to find a good solution for this problem.
Also, in some posts I saw people update their question with
sudo lshw -C network
so, mine is here:

This happends only when I connect to my router, and the internet is fine when connecting on my mobile hotspot
Any solutions? Thank you for your time, hope somebody can help!
