Same story here with HP 17-y009ng, 16.04 worked like a charm, with ant_sel=2 ( after having had a hard time to find out that this option was a must). Kernel 4.15.0.32 worked as well after upgrade to 18.04-1. No more wifi signal after update to kernel 4.1.5.0-33. Tried all other module options

I've tested with the kernel as recommended and suggest in #25. Wifi with rtl8723b3 works again (like a charm). However, ant_sel must be set to 1 (ant_sel=1) as opposed to kernel 4.15.0-32, which required ant_sel to be set to 2 (ant_sel=2). (e.g sudo modprobe rtl8723be ant_sel=1 vs. sudo modprobe

A new kernel update 4.15.0.34 has been provided recently. This kernel doesn't work with / support rtl8723be either. It seems the fix has not been committed so far. 18.4.1 typically keeps two kernels, unless you modify /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal, so to keep more kernels. Hence users

oh well, it seems to me that kernel versioning is pretty much messed up. The (test) kernel I had installed, as of #77 reports version 4.15.0-46 ( linux-unsigned, modules, modoles-extra). Software Updater reports the very same version numbers for those modules to be updated, independent from

The Kernel modules as shown when -proposed is enabled DOES NOT solve the problem at all. The wifi signal is still extremely weak. Only the test kernel mention in #77 and #78 solves the problem. It's as well somewhat weird, that the version number in proposed has not been bumped up, as promised in
