The wifi is connected and it is perfectly working on all my other devices but in Linux mint the internet is not working. I have to reboot the system to get it working again and again. I updated my drivers using sudo apt upgrade and update. Did all that and driver manager doesn't show any drivers available to download too.
When i did ping 1.1.1.1 it said "network is unreachable".

The thing is it works for some time and goes off again.

Network:
Device-1: Realtek RTL8111/8168/8211/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet
driver: r8169
IF: enp2s0 state: down mac: d8:d0:90:47:b3:9f

this is what i got
 
what is the output of ...

Code: 
ip addr

and

Code: 
nmcli dev wifi list
 
That looks OK to me, there could be mismatch with the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, which effects some machines, in which case try disabling Bluetooth if wi-fi works ok then we need to find what's causing the miss match

it goes on. with diff in ms
 
So then, it seems you are on the network, connected to your router.
The problem doesn't appear to be Linux connectivity.

There are few more things we can check.

Code: 
netstat -nr

Code: 
resolvectl

Code: 
ping google.com
 
Intermittent problems are the hardest to find, whatever blue tooth peripherals you have connected, then the only way I can see is trial and error, disconnect one at a time until the Wi-Fi works
 
I have what I call a shot in the dark, but it's just not there yet. I need more information.

What is the make and model of your computer?
