Comment on Solution to Wi-Fi problems on HP laptops with Realtek RTL8723BE NICs (2016)

Comments

I have a 3-year old HP LT which, when Windows 8 was installed, never had wifi issues. When Windows 10 came on, it started dropping the connection. Some times, I could reconnect but usually, it had to be rebooted. I tried new drivers and suggestions I found but nothing solved the problem. Finally, I bought one of those USB WiFi dongles, configured the system to use it, and my network issues went away. I have no idea if this is a solution to the original problem but I'll stick with the dongle as long as its working.

This solution works on Linux. Official HP drivers are usually the best way on Windows.
