First of all make sure that the necessary packages are installed.
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential git
Then, clone the lwfinger/rtlwifi_new
repository and checkout the rock.new_btcoex
branch.
$ git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git $ cd rtlwifi_new $ git checkout rock.new_btcoex
Now, build the drivers and install the modules.
$ sudo make $ sudo make install
Then, reboot your system.
Open /etc/modprobe.d/
Create a file rtl8723be.conf
Put the code below in it, where X
is your antenna number.
options rtl8723be fwlps=N ips=N swlps=N swenc=Y disable_watchdog=1 ant_sel=X
In my case, ant_sel=2
provided a lot more networks with much higher signal strength than ant_sel=1
. Finally, you can append the correct ant_sel
parameter in your /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf
.
And then you need to reboot or manually reload the driver.
$ sudo modprobe -rv rtl8723be $ sudo modprobe -v rtl8723be
I hope this helps!
Thanks. 🙂
