Re: 8723be not working
First check
If it lists acer-wireless soft blocked: yes do
Then reboot
If results from rfkill don't show wifi blocked and
Then we check the second option to find which one works better
If ant_sel=1 is better
If ant_sel=2 is better
rfkill list all
results in terminal (CTRL + t)If it lists acer-wireless soft blocked: yes do
Code: Select all
echo "blacklist acer-wmi" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
If results from rfkill don't show wifi blocked and
ifconfig
shows the interface as UP we can do some testing with a module parameter that allows antenna selection as some HP's are known to use just one antenna on a card designed for 2 and it has caused headaches for a year and a half. But because of Larry Finger's work and his friends at Realtek we have this optionCode: Select all
sudo modprobe -r rtl8723be
Code: Select all
sudo modprobe rtl8723be ant_sel=1
Code: Select all
iwlist scan | egrep -i 'ssid|quality'
Code: Select all
sudo modprobe -r rtl8723be
Code: Select all
sudo modprobe rtl8723be ant_sel=2
Code: Select all
iwlist scan | egrep -i 'ssid|quality'
Code: Select all
echo "options rtl8723be ant_sel=1" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf
Code: Select all
echo "options rtl8723be ant_sel=2" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf
