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

I thought this was never going to be fixed on my Lenovo Yoga laptop. Many wifi-dongles later I went wired ethernet with a crossover cable to a Chromebook that may not have niceties like a CPU but it does stay locked on to the weakest wifi signal in a highly congested area.

I rate the likelihood of this fixing anything as highly unlikely - compiled, installed, rebooted with both wifi aerial options and the machine is still somewhat deaf.

Hmm. Laptop wifi antenna cables run through the hinges into the screen. Which means it's very well possible they're damaged or torn (and given your description, since manufacture).
