My connection stops working randomly. Before, after stopping, the network I was using would even disappear and not appear again until I rebooted or came back from sleep mode. After using jeremy31's fix from here now it continues to stop working but without the network ever disappearing or notifying the connection is down.
I've added "options asus_nb_wmi=4" to the asus_nb_wmi.conf file even though when running "rfkill list all" it doesn't show any "Hard blocked: yes", and sadly this wifi random disconnects persist.

I would try

echo "options <driver-name> fwlps=N ips=N" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/<driver-name>.conf

Replace <driver-name> with whatever module your wifi is using and reboot

Meanwhile made update to ubuntu 15. Tried this and gave it some time.
The random disconnects still occur but seem to be less frequent. It's solvable by using the key to toggle off and on the wifi.

Hi.
It helped for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Asus B451JA

Hi!

Didnt work for Asus B551LA. My rfkill output:

rfkill list all
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
2: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no

Yours just shows a soft block so

rfkill unblock wifi

or using the FN combo should enable it
