I have this issue too on an HP Stream 11 (also uses RTL8723BE). For me the workaround setting fwlps=0 also seems to help. This is on 15.10 and 16.04 daily.
What I also experience is that sometimes after waking from sleep (about 1 in 10 times) the wifi will be in a complete unusable state, where it cannot even see any networks. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1451233 Title: 10ec:b723 [Lenovo B5400] Realtek RTL8723BE drops connection until reboot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1451233/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
