Ok, so as I said in my previous comment, I have tested the performance of wifi in Ubuntu 14.04 in 3-4 laptops in last 1 week.
After fresh installation, wifi keeps on dropping. Then I applied tlue's workaround on all of them which was: echo "options rtl8723be fwlps=N ips=N" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf Now after doing this, the wifi stabilizes but after long usage (2-4 hours continuously) it drops for 5-20 seconds and then either comes back automatically or needs a reconnect (Reboot is not required to reconnect in this case). So after digging about incompatibility related to msi in rtl8723be, I added one extra parameter in above command: echo "options rtl8723be fwlps=N ips=N msi=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf After using for 4-5 hours I didn't see a drop. Still I am keeping fingers crossed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1297286 Title: Wireless connection keeps disconnecting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1297286/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
