I have installed ubuntu mate 16.04 in my HP Pavilion 15-ab032tx Notebook. (windows 8.1 is also there though i have dual booted).
I have updated and upgraded by:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade - in terminal
then I found wifi signals shows very poor and often disconnects. But when i log into 'Windows' wifi gets full signal strength and stable.

then I searched lot for solution
I tried:
Unstable Wifi Connection Ubuntu 14.04

and many more methods
but still no solution
I am new to ubuntu..

I suggest that you try, from a terminal:

sudo -i
echo "options rtl8723be ant_sel=1"  >  /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf
exit

Reboot and tell us if the performance is improved.

  • I tried as you said but same performance . No improvement . Please show me another way to fix this problem. – S.Hillol Jul 09 '16 at 20:59
  • Please see my edit above. I suggest you try instead: ant_sel=1 – chili555 Jul 09 '16 at 21:21
  • it worked... thanks a ton... you made my day... – S.Hillol Jul 11 '16 at 05:02
  • Wifi works but bluetooth doesn't work. Sorry, I didn't check it earlier. Please help me to fix this. I even don't know if wifi and bluetooth uses same hardware or not. It shows in the specification of my hp that, wireless connectivity:- 802.11b/g/n (1x1) and Bluetooth 4.0 combo (Miracast compatible), WiDi – S.Hillol Jul 11 '16 at 09:46
  • I think that bluetooth is the subject for a new question. Be sure to include the result of: dmesg | grep -i blue Missing firmware?? Glad the wireless is working as expected. – chili555 Jul 11 '16 at 12:13
  • I have posted the bluetooth problem in http://askubuntu.com/questions/797635/bluetooth-is-not-working-in-ubuntu-mate-16-04-on-hp-pavilion-15-ab032tx-notebook – S.Hillol Jul 15 '16 at 12:53
