Hi all,

I am very new to Linux and facing similar issue with RTL8723BE on HP-
15AF006AX.

At first, the system couldn't recognize any Wifi network.

Tried the rtlwifi_new. Now, the wifi does connect, but only withing a
range of 1M from router's antenna. The connection drops are very
frequent.

Next i have tried to add 'options rtl8723be fwlps=0 swlps=0' to the
"/etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf". No luck. The connection keeps
dropping.

I have Ignored the IPv6 settings and checked for the Power Management to
be 'Off'.

Are we expecting this bug to be fixed in near future? Else I might have
move back to Windows.
