Driver for Realtek RTL8723BU Wireless Adapter with Hardware ID 0bda:b720
How to use?
a. Concurrent Mode
If you want to operate the hardware as a station AND as an access point simultaneously, follow these instructions. This will show two devices when you run the iwconfig command.
Run the following commands in the Linux terminal.
git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723bu.git
cd rtl8723bu
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe -v 8723bu
b. Non Concurrent Mode
If you do not want two devices (station and an access point) separately, then follow these instructions.
Step - 1: Run the following commands in the Linux terminal.
git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723bu.git
cd rtl8723bu
nano Makefile
Step - 2: Find the line that contains EXTRA_CFLAGS += -DCONFIG_CONCURRENT_MODE and insert a # symbol at the beginning of that line. This comments that line and disables concurrent mode.
Step - 3: Now, run the following commands in the same Linux terminal.
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe -v 8723bu
