My internet goes out every few minutes and the resolution is opening "select network" in the menu

This is an intermittent issue and I haven't figured out what causes this but every once in a while my internet will go out every 2 minutes or so and if I open up network settings and go to select network the internet comes back. I don't even have to select a network, simply opening the menu makes the internet reconnect. I don't know where to begin troubleshooting a problem like this, here are my system details:

Please edit your question and post the output of this troubleshooting script mentioned in [this answer](https://askubuntu.com/a/425180). Also, FYI, 18.04 only has a few days left of community support. Don't forget to release upgrade in the coming days.

FYI: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS was released in 2018-April (thus 18.04 with the *year.month* format used by Ubuntu) with 5 years of *standard* supported life; ie. until 2023-April.. which was extended for 1 month (now 31-May-2023) so your system will soon be EOSS. I'd also check your details; 18.04.2 would imply you're well behind on upgrades & also using the 4.18 kernel - but you show 5.4 which was from 18.04.5?? A fully-upgraded 18.04 system will report itself as 18.04.6. Are you using Ubuntu? (*your contradictory facts imply it's a Ubuntu based system & not Ubuntu*)

I wasn't aware my system was about to lose support, thanks for the heads up! I'll be honest I don't know the difference between an "ubuntu base system" and "ubuntu". I set up my windows machine to dual boot ubuntu about 3 or 4 years ago. Btw, I updated my original post

You can use `ubuntu-support-status` to confirm the status of your actual install anytime.. (*that command being replaced by `ubuntu-security-status` for modern releases though)

99.7% of my packages are unsupported, LOL. I know what I'm doing tonight.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
