i'm connected to the WiFi of my house, but like once a day the connections drops and i'm not able to connect again. I've tested in other devices and the connection/internet is working fine.
I've tried doing:
#sudo ifconfig wlp5s0 down
#sudo ifconfig wlp5s0 up
and:
#sudo service network-manager restart
But that doesn't work. The system log say the following:
Aug 31 09:34:16 usermsi NetworkManager[1061]: <info> [1472657656.3590] device (wlp5s0): supplicant interface state: disconnected -> scanning

It seems that the network manager found the SSID, try to connect but is not able to do it.
