[SOLVED]Connection interrupting after few minutes

Hi, guys! I have another issue with BL, namely, few minutes from startup connection is interrupt. I'm not far away from the router - it's just 1,5m from my laptop and there is nothing on the way. Previously I had installed Mint and I had no problem like this. I'm also running W10 and the same thing - the problem doesn't exist. The wifi card is Realtek RTL8723BE.
The funny thing is when this happens on BL, and, let's say, I lock my laptop, it doesn't accept my password when I'm coming back, which is 100% right because after reboot everything is working. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Re: [SOLVED]Connection interrupting after few minutes

That realtek card is little buggy in linux...

I followed this guide (skip BIOS step and follow Debian steps):

That guide should not be needed in this case

@j3rzu: the driver for your device was patched for kernel 4.1 (as explained in the fdn link) and so the kernel version from the jessie-backports repository should fix your problem.

This guide will show you how to change to the 4.x-series kernel:

Once that is done you will also have to install the firmware from backports:

sudo apt install -t jessie-backports firmware-realtek

Then reboot into the new kernel and enjoy a stable connection

If it is still unstable then turn off the power management:

Re: [SOLVED]Connection interrupting after few minutes

I tried to install latest kernel from backports, 4.9 I think, and the dkms module failed to compile (probably my fault, too much twerking with pkgs and configs).
Don't got time to test, so I moved back to 3.* kernel.

I'm planning to wipe the HD and make a clean BL install, I'll try again.
