I have recently installed ubuntu 14 in my system alongside windows8.1. While the wifi works perfectly fine in windows, i am getting very low signal for the wifi connection. Most of the time I have to restart the connection via terminal (network manager restart) to get the wifi working. And even so if I move away a little, the wifi connection is lost. What could be the problem?

P.S. I am using an HP 15 af006ax notebook. My wifi router is Tp-link wr740n wireless router .

The problem is in antenna slot, the ubuntu goes for slot 1 (default). But in HP 15-af006ax the antenna connection is in 2nd slot. You can change it by,

sudo modprobe -v rtl8723be ant_sel=2

and for making it permanent,

echo "options rtl8723be ant_sel=2 fwlps=0" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf

thats it your problem must be solved after this i got it working the same.
