I have this issue: during the first 10 mins the wireless card works fine but suddenly cannot download data anymore and after 1 or 2 mins disconnects.
If i try to reconnect it just wont do it unless i reboot the laptop.
I have apparently a realtek RTL8723 and i have tried already many solutions posted everywhere with no results, i am also very new to this world.
The OS is linux mint 17.1
this is the mintwifi results (no idea what it actually is!!)
