    WIFI signal is very weak on HP laptop RTL8723BE (Tried so many solutions)

    Greetings everyone,


    I have tried every solution I could find as there are a lot out there with the same issue but still can't get a strong wifi signal. I'm using an HP laptop with a RTL8723BE wireless network adapter on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS.


    I was able to resolve this issue in the past (not long ago maybe a month or so) by downloading and following the steps here at https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new , but now it's not being fixed anymore.


    When I run iwlist scan | egrep -i 'ssid|quality' I get very close results for both antennas (ant_sel=1 or ant_sel=2) always -70 or less.


    I read somewhere that the new kernel has fixed this issue, so I updated my kernel but couldn't get it fixed yet.

    Please let me know what to do to help you help me


    Any help is appreciated!
