I have an HP laptop dual booted with windows 10 and Ubuntu16.04 LTS. WiFi on Windows works just fine but when I switch to Ubuntu, the network which was showing strong connection in Windows shows weak in Ubuntu. Sometimes it also refuses to connect. Can you please help?

2Could you please post text files, dialogue messages, and program output listings as text, not as images? To achieve the latter two you can either 1) select, copy & paste the dialogue text or terminal content or 2) save the program output to a file and use that. Longer listings (the editor will tell you what's too long) should be uploaded to a pastie service and linked to in the question. Thanks. – David Foerster May 23 '17 at 05:13

1There is no package named
broadcom-kernel-source
and what does Broadcom have to do with the OP's Realtek wireless? – chili555 Mar 06 '18 at 20:06
