My 2 cents on this dreaded wifi+bt card. My system: Lenovo Flex 2 - intel i5 + 8GB RAM Ubuntu version: 15.04 (clean install)
Previously when I was on 14.04 LTS, I had to create a rtl8723be.conf file and add the options to make my system stable. I did a clean install of UBuntu 15.04 a couple of days back. After which, I am able to connect to the wifi network without any extra setting. I made a few changes to wifi router though (Dlink N router) 1. Set channel to 1 2. Set frequency to 2.4GHZ 3. Set encryption to WPA+AES I have a stable connection, with no drops . I have a few issues though. 1. The wifi never connects when laptop is woken up ffrom sleep. Needs a reboot 2. The wifi never connects to router when signal strength is less than 50% -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1461174 Title: Realtek Wifi card rtl8723be [10ec:b723] WiFi has an issue To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hwe-next/+bug/1461174/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
