You may use the driver hosted at Larry Finger’s rtlwifi_new git repository. You would have to disable secure boot from the the BIOS/EFI first. Also make sure you have linux-headers for the respective kernel(s) and build-essential package installed. Then follow the steps below (you need to be connected to the internet by some other mean).
- Install
gitanddkmsif they’re not installed by running
sudo apt install git dkms
- Clone the repository
git clone -b extended --single-branch https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new.git
- Run the following commands to install
sudo dkms add rtlwifi_new
sudo dkms install rtlwifi-new/0.6
- Reboot.
This should also work with newer kernels (and hence on Ubuntu 18.04 too).
Note: If you get very weak signal try changing your antenna selection
sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723de.conf <<< "options rtl8723de ant_sel=2"
(or ant_sel=1 if 2 doesn’t help).
