WiFi connectivity problem

Asked by Srivathsa

Im using Ubuntu 14.04 .I recently started having problem with connecting to the work network at home. The WiFi network is working fine(I checked on other devices). The problem is my laptop doesn't get connected to it or gets connected sometimes but there's no data transfer.

lsb_release -a : codename: trusty

Yes, I want the text.

If you copy it to your NTFS partition, you can copy the text in Windows then paste as an update

Please provide the full output, and not just the lines that you deem most relevant.

If you run the commands in a terminal window, you can use the terminal window's menu entries "edit - select all" and "edit - copy" to copy all output, for pasting it into the question document without further hassle.

The wireless interface has an IP address (192.168.1.103 in this case). If you run:

ping -c 4 8.8.8.8

Do you get replies?

Get the laptop as close as possible to the wireless router and see if problems are gone. HP started using one antenna wire instead of two.
If moving the laptop fixes the issue, see http://askubuntu.com/questions/717685/realtek-wifi-card-rtl8723be-not-working-properly/722904#722904

When this happens to me I hit suspend and cone back in from suspend and resets the network administrator works like a charm. Think it has something to do with the kernel

Can you help with this problem?
