Mate 1.12.0 Mint 17.3, is there any way to see why it disconnects?

Yet another ambiguous Edward78 thread.

Rather than posting this can't you instead inform us of:

Kernel version (uname -r)
Network interface type and model (you haven't even mentioned whether this is wireless or wired)
Driver version for aforementioned adaptor
What exactly happens when the disconnect occurs (does the device vanish or is it just a Wi-Fi disconnect but the adaptor is otherwise all good)?

Do a site survey on both the router and desktop side to determine whether noisy channels are an issue.

Ethernet / powerline / wifi?

Throw us a bone.

Wired, Ethernet...
Kernel 3.19.0-32-generic...

Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 06)

It discoes then reconnects... (no errors or anything)

How frequently? Is there a pattern? E.g. every hour, day?

No pattern, just twice yesterdy only for maybe a second... Maybe it was nothing, but it was odd..

Yes, I am sure... Maybe it was just a odd hiccup...
