Try this: (It worked for me)

sudo apt remove bcmwl-kernel-source && sudo apt install git dkms
git clone -b extended https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git
sudo dkms add ./rtlwifi_new
sudo dkms install rtlwifi-new/0.6

After running above commands Reboot your system. If you notice a weak signal try:

sudo modprobe -r rtl8723de && sleep 5 && sudo modprobe rtl8723de ant_sel=1

and see if it is better, if not do

sudo modprobe -r rtl8723de && sleep 5 && sudo modprobe rtl8723de ant_sel=2

And then run following command so that you won't have to run above command everytime you boot your system

echo "options rtl8723de ant_sel=X" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723de.conf

Replace X with whatever setting worked best. For me, X was 2.

Note: My laptop model is HP 15-bs145tu
