Laptop gets enough Wi-Fi signals beside router but as you move 2-3 metres away
from router it barely gets one line strength. And then won't connect due to low
strength.
Wi-Fi worked fine before the 3-4 kernel updates but after the updates I'm
facing this problem.
Ubuntu version : 16.10
Present Kernel Verion : Linux roopam 4.4.0-36-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP Thu Aug 11
18:01:55 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Wireless Device : 0a:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTL8723BE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter
What I tried : tried installing alternative wireless driver from
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hanipouspilot/rtlwifi
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rtlwifi-new-dkms linux-firmware
NO Luck!
