No firmware? Let's get some. Please download the attached to your desktop. Right-click it and select Extract Here. Now open a terminal and do:
Code:
sudo mkdir /lib/firmware/rtlwifi
The file may already exist. Please proceed.
Code:
sudo cp Desktop/rtlwifi/*.bin /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/
Now, we unload and reload the driver so it sees the needed firmware:
Code:
sudo modprobe -r rtl8723ae
sudo modprobe rtl8723ae
Now we check for any improvement:
Code:
iwconfig
sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
Now let's do some housekeeping:
Code:
sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
And let's check:
Code:
cat /etc/modules | tail -n5
