I was using Ubuntu 16.04 and switched to windows because of wireless problems of Ubuntu. After a while, I decided to return Ubuntu, but confronted with the exact same problem. I couldn't figure out why Linux Ubuntu conflicts with RT3290 wireless. After installation of system, wifi was working, but enable wi-fi option and available wireless connections was missing after first restart. I downloaded rt3290 driver from here and installed it. This driver seems like solving the problem, I now can connect to wifi, but my connection is still too fragile: it keeps disconnecting often and youtube videos is playing in low quality. Does anyone know permanent solution to this problem? Is there official ticket about this problem?

I believe the fixes are in the latest Ubuntu kernels, to install
sudo apt-get install linux-generic-hwe-16.04-edgeThere have been issues in the past with this chipset and wifi power management but they seem to have been fixed recently
