I installed Ubuntu on my HP Stream 11, I was pleased to find out that my WiFi worked but the range is terrible. To have a good signal I have to be right next router.

How can I improve the quality of the signal?

  • I just posted the lspci just now I didn't post it in the comments because it was too long

  • Except this is different because the wifi was excellent sitting next to the router unlike the 16.10 problem where the wifi disconnects next to the router

  • @agamer569 Forget the description, just try the solution(s).

  • Do I have to enter all of those commands or am I missing something? If I am, tell me what I am.

  • You enter the commands to see what setting works best, then you set the module parameter. Some people using Larry Finger's github driver might need a different setting than those using the original kernel driver. The problem is the same, HP started using only one antenna wire with RTL8723BE chipsets a few years ago and this affects many of their laptops
