Ask Ubuntu Asked by Abhishek Bhatia on February 27, 2021
I am using kubuntu 16.04 on this PC
.
The problem that I am facing is:
Wifi issue:
It doesn’t discover wifi at times and keeps getting disconnected randomly.
Also, when I am connected to a WiFi works very slow. But things go smooth
when I boot into windows.
Information about wireless card:

When I have tried so far:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hanipouspilot/rtlwifi
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rtlwifi-new-dkms linux-firmware
The first solution from here. Didn’t try the second one because I will have to recompile with each kernel update
then.
I tried make install from this https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new but it doesn’t work either.
This issue is an ongoing problem and the following is more like a temporary answer.
Step 1. Add repository for the latest driver (maintained by lwfinger on GitHub) and install it.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hanipouspilot/rtlwifi
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rtlwifi-new-dkms linux-firmware
If you cannot install the driver then, disable secure boot from BIOS ( some notebooks have had this issue).
Your wifi-adapter should be working now (though maybe having weak signal or disconnects after some time).
Step 2. Edit the configuration file for the new driver for specific antenna selection and power management,
--First make a backup.
sudo cp /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.old.conf
then,
echo "options rtl8723be fwlps=0 ips=0 ant_sel=2" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf
Step 3. reboot
Your wifi-adapter should be working better now. It is suggested to test wireless connection under load for some time. User may test with ant_sel=1 or removing this parameter to ascertain best working condition. With every change reboot is needed.
More information: With future kernel update, no additional configuration is needed since linux-firmware is also installed.

Correct answer by ankit7540 on February 27, 2021
I've been searching for a solution for hours now always finding one that suggests installing the driver from https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new/ which no longer exists.
Turns out you no longer need that driver as it is part of the kernel now. But you might run into a terrible signal strength issue I was experiencing myself on my laptop.
The only thing that needed to be done was to execute this in a terminal:
sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf <<< "options rtl8723be ant_sel=1"
As suggested here. Hope this helps someone running into the same problem.
