I have tried the steps as detailed in the answer of this AskUbuntu question: "Wifi doesn't work in Ubuntu 15.10 - Realtek RTL8723BE/RTL8188EE 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Driver",
but I have got this error: 

error: #error "This branch is abandoned. Please do not use"

Can anyone provide a fix? I downloaded the driver called "Realtek RTL8723BE/RTL8188EE 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Drivers" and installed it with ndisgtk, but the Wi-Fi doesn't work. I have also tried changing the ant_sel= to 1, but to no avail.

You can find the latest official drivers for this card and the install instructions at this GitHub repo.

  • I read that I should install from the extended branch, which I did and finally got WiFi; but with incredibly horrible range (approx. 2.5m before disconnection). The creator of the repository said to update the Kernel to 4.15.3 and use the driver pre-installed in that version and specifically not to use the repo's drivers. I updated but still do not have wireless connection. – LumiteDubbz Apr 17 '18 at 11:42
  • Have you tried changing which antenna rtlwifi_new is using? 
    modprobe -v rtl8723be ant_sel=2
