RTL8723BE wifi sees wifis but can't connect (DEAUTH_LEAVING)

[jimmyD]

Code: Select all

sudo modinfo rtl8723be | grep ant_sel
parm:           ant_sel:Set to 1 or 2 to force antenna number (default 0)

I m just confused still about this. So is 0 equal to either 1 or 2 or not?

So is 0 equal to either 1 or 2 or not?

I'm not sure but I think 1 & 2 refer to specific antennae and 0 means "whatever". Just a guess though

To throw another possibility out, I've seen reports of HP's having disconnected wifi/bluetooth antenna. Maybe Win10 did a better job of finding the connected antenna.
In spite of an obvious manufacturing defect, the HP shill recommended the user fix it themselves and gave instructions on how to do it.
