Alan Thompson, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
As per http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-15-ac100 -notebook-pc-series/8499326/model/8903280#Z7_3054ICK0K8UDA0AQC11TA930O2 an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (F.1A). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it address the issue? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. Also, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status Confirmed. Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid. Thank you for your understanding. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Summary changed: - RTL8723BE Wifi driver unstable + [HP Notebook - 15-ac106na] Wifi driver unstable ** Summary changed: - [HP Notebook - 15-ac106na] Wifi driver unstable + [HP Notebook - 15-ac106na] Wifi unstable -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1516251 Title: [HP Notebook - 15-ac106na] Wifi unstable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1516251/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
