Wifi Driver doesn't work on any Linux Distros
I have tried 9 Linux OS so far and my Realtek Wifi Driver doesn't work with any of them also I tried each and every single piece of advice I found,
I'm new to all this, Please HELP!
Here I have attached all needed info for my case without wasting space:
Screenshot from system tray of deepin Desktop
the attachment displays that my system tray has wifi option greyed.
Here's my Wireless_Information:

I suggest that you invest in a USB wireless.

Buying isn't a problem, but can't I make my existing wifi hardware work? I searched but didn't find any reliable solution to my problem and thus came here to finally post about it. And Thnks for answering. I can wait for some months for realtek to release it

Did you click on the duplicate link and read the answer and the following comments? It says, very clearly, "This device Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device d723 is not supported by Linux yet. It is rtl8723de. There are no vendor drivers either." So, the unambiguous answer to your question, "can't I make my existing wifi hardware work?" is no, you cannot at this time.
– chili555
Dec 19 '17 at 19:19
Yeah, I did. and through that link I discovered a person, Larry. W. Finger.. He said realtek didn't sent him the driver software for linux. they will soon, maybe in Q1 2018?? By the way can't the windows driver to makke it work or anything else??
– Syed Mushaheed
Dec 22 '17 at 11:32
The mechanism to use the Windows drivers is called ndiswrapper. We can certainly try it. Ndiswrapper requires the Windows XP driver files; typically the .sys and .inf files. Please see:man ndiswrapper
. Do you have or can you find XP drivers for your device? I have seen many attempts to use Windows 7/8/10 drivers and precisely zero success.

Buying isn't a problem, but can't I make my existing wifi hardware work? I searched but didn't find any reliable solution to my problem and thus came here to finally post about it. And Thnks for answering. I can wait for some months for realtek to release it

Did you click on the duplicate link and read the answer and the following comments? It says, very clearly, "This device Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device d723 is not supported by Linux yet. It is rtl8723de. There are no vendor drivers either." So, the unambiguous answer to your question, "can't I make my existing wifi hardware work?" is no, you cannot at this time.

Dec 19 '17 at 19:19
Yeah, I did. and through that link I discovered a person, Larry. W. Finger.. He said realtek didn't sent him the driver software for linux. they will soon, maybe in Q1 2018?? By the way can't the windows driver to makke it work or anything else??

The mechanism to use the Windows drivers is called ndiswrapper. We can certainly try it. Ndiswrapper requires the Windows XP driver files; typically the .sys and .inf files. Please see:man ndiswrapper
. Do you have or can you find XP drivers for your device? I have seen many attempts to use Windows 7/8/10 drivers and precisely zero success.

I suggest that you invest in a USB wireless.

Buying isn't a problem, but can't I make my existing wifi hardware work? I searched but didn't find any reliable solution to my problem and thus came here to finally post about it. And Thnks for answering. I can wait for some months for realtek to release it

Did you click on the duplicate link and read the answer and the following comments? It says, very clearly, "This device Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device d723 is not supported by Linux yet. It is rtl8723de. There are no vendor drivers either." So, the unambiguous answer to your question, "can't I make my existing wifi hardware work?" is no, you cannot at this time.

Yeah, I did. and through that link I discovered a person, Larry. W. Finger.. He said realtek didn't sent him the driver software for linux. they will soon, maybe in Q1 2018?? By the way can't the windows driver to makke it work or anything else??

The mechanism to use the Windows drivers is called ndiswrapper. We can certainly try it. Ndiswrapper requires the Windows XP driver files; typically the .sys and .inf files. Please see:
man ndiswrapper
. Do you have or can you find XP drivers for your device? I have seen many attempts to use Windows 7/8/10 drivers and precisely zero success.– chili555
