From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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
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.
