Only when I'm closer to the router, it shows any signal, but when I'm just little far from it, it is not showing wifi routers signals.

Is it easy to access the wifi card?

Yup ... There's no another error, only that I mentioned above.. And I almost try all the solution present in the internet... but no one method can able to solve this problem...

I mean physical access, is it easy to replace? Some HP laptops require major disassembly to get to the wifi card

With Ubuntu 16.04 and later, go to Parameter settings as nothing needs to be downloaded
Progress from Larry Finger from here
If you installed rtlwifi-new-dkms from Pilot6's PPA, it will need to be removed with
sudo apt-get remove rtlwifi-new-dkmsReboot, then
sudo apt-get install git build-essential
git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new
cd rtlwifi_new
make
sudo make installReboot and then
Parameter Setting
sudo modprobe -rv rtl8723be
sudo modprobe -v rtl8723be ant_sel=1Test wireless, if no change then
sudo modprobe -rv rtl8723be
sudo modprobe -v rtl8723be ant_sel=2Test wireless again, one or the other should result in better reception
When you find that one works better than the other
echo "options rtl8723be ant_sel=X" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtlbtcoex.confWhere
X is 1 or 2- whatever resulted in better performance, in the case of Swapnil Sharma it would beecho "options rtl8723be ant_sel=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtlbtcoex.confThen the parameter will be remembered following a restart

Thanks it works. But not Completely. I have to use this again and again after restarting my Laptop.sudo modprobe -rv rtl8723be sudo modprobe -v rtl8723be ant_sel=1

WOW... This actually works... seems to have worked for my Realtek RTL8188EE WiFi driver. Thank you so much @Jeremy31 ! This issue was really starting to bother me.
