when i turn on my hotspot, and connect my phone to it, the maximum speed i get is around 100KBps even though my internet is good enough to give around 2.5 MBps

This piece of ā¦ ermā¦ hardware has 2 known problemsā¦ 
Please provide the output of:
cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
cat /etc/modprobe.d/50-rtl8723be.conf
[abhra@abhra ~]$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
3817
[abhra@ ~]$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/50-rtl8723be.conf
cat: /etc/modprobe.d/50-rtl8723be.conf: No such file or directory
Thatās good (>1000)
Thatās bad. Try this:
echo "options rtl8723be swenc=1 fwlps=0 ips=0 ant_sel=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf
sudo sed -i 's/wifi.powersave = 3/wifi.powersave = 2/' /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf
Then reboot and try again.
The first option does this:
parm: swenc:using hardware crypto (default 0 [hardware]) (bool)
parm: ips:using no link power save (default 1 is open) (bool)
parm: fwlps:using linked fw control power save (default 1 is open) (bool)
parm: ant_sel:Set to 1 or 2 to force antenna number (default 0) (int)
The second option tells NetworkManager to not use power saving on top of the module itself.

thanks a lot but the second command is having issues
[abhra~]$ echo āoptions rtl8723be swenc=1 fwlps=0 ips=0 ant_sel=1ā | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723be.conf
options rtl8723be swenc=1 fwlps=0 ips=0 ant_sel=1
[abhra@ab ~]$ sudo sed -i ās/wifi.powersave = 3/wifi.powersave = 2/ā /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf
sed: canāt read /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf: No such file or directory
If youāre not using NetWorkManager (which this looks like) you should ignore that.
Any improvements after a reboot???
sorry , no imrovement after reboot .
also the directory ā/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/ā looks empty
Try the following then:
sudo nano --backup /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf
copy-paste this in there:
wifi.powersave = 2
and hit Ctrl+X Enter to save that
then restart NM or reboot.
Then feed back again.
well i tried that but during reboot it says āfailed to start network managerā and also ran into some issues with network as expected, so had to revert the changes and i deleted it
