Problem with WiFi driver in arch linux

Hi everyone

I’ve been trying to solve a problem with my arch (endeavour) instalation and wanted to know if anyone here can help

Everything is working well, excepting the WiFi connection. It is extremely slow, sometimes disconnecting from the network, and in the task bar, the WiFi icon shows that the signal strength is weak, although the router is in the same room. Switching between r8168 and r8169 as recommended doesnt work. Any ideas?

    I had the same problem with mint, the wifi worked on other distros but not in mint, I run the next lines to fix it

    sudo modprove -r rtl8723be
sudo modprove rtl8723be ant_sel=1

    rtl8723be is my wifi card, you can try to use the same but with yours.

      @driving_crooner @linux Just did it, but no change at all. I think that would be the solution if the card weren’t recognized, but the issue here is that it connects but erroneously reports weak wifi signal

        Sorry it didn’t worked. Mine have the problem, it’s recognize that have a wifi connection and the available networks, but with a really weak signal.The problem with my router is that it has two antennas, for some reason sometimes the second one, who doesn’t work on mint, get selected but I run that lines and work again. The first line is for reseting the router, the second is for turning out again with antenna 1 selected.
