I am brand new here, and while I've played around with Ubuntu before in a different machine, this is my first time on a UEFI machine. I've finally had enough with Windows 10, and have cut all ties now. I love the unity dash for my touchscreen, but I'm having this really annoying problem with my internet connection now. When I turn the computer it will work for a minute or two, then just die on me. I have checked around, and nothing I have found yet seems to work for me in particular.

So I've tried most of the relevant items I could find online, such as disabling 802.11n protocol, which gave me the error "module iwlwif is not currently loaded". I did the Debian avahi-daemon trick, and the Internet is so terrible I can't seem to download a different network manager to try that, or any different drivers. Help please?

Disable the wireless adapters power management, and update the rtl8723be driver to the latest. 16.04 comes with this automatically I believe.

But when I was running 15.04lts, I followed this guide: Wifi problems with rtl8723be in Ubuntu 14.04

and it worked great. But the bigger issue you will run into is the hard freeze/lockups that happen at random with these Satellite L15W's (I have the same series, L15W-B1220), and these hard freezes are still present in 16.04lts. (sysreq REISUB does not work, cannot ssh into the device, the power must be cycled).
