Hi
I bought a new laptop Lenovo V330-15IKB and installed mint 19, everything worked fine except for the wifi connection, If I boot with windows 10 there are no problems at all.
With mint, websites don't load 50% of the times throwing a ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED error, If I press F5 multiple times it loads. Also when the pages load sometines it takes a lot of time and in the bottom it says "resolving host..." for a minimum of 10 seconds, after that it works fast.
This was happening less frequently some days ago but now I cannot use the wifi because it became much worst.
If I connect the ethernet cable it works fine.
In my desktop computer I started having the same problem after upgrading from mint 18 to mint 19 but not very fraquently. Is connected to the ethernet cable so I think that is probably a different problem.
Thanks.
