My system is Ubuntu 14.04 32 bit and kernel is 3.13.0-24-generic. How can I download and install wifi driver for above mentioned Network adapter Realtek RTL8723BE?
1 Answer
You can get the drivers from GitHub.
Get a temporary internet connection, then open a terminal and do:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential git
git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git
cd rtlwifi_new
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe rtl8723be
Your wifi should now be working.

7I followed your answer and install this driver. But the problem with me is when sit near to the wifi router i get connected but when i get into other room my wifi get disconnected and my system doesn't show any available wifi. I have another laptop with ubuntu in the same room and it works perfect but that one has intel wireless. Is there any way i can get wifi signals with realtek ? Earlier on this laptop was installed windows 10 and it was working fine so it is not a hardware problem.– user433546Nov 23, 2015 at 6:46
