There are many rtl8723be wifi unstable issues that wifi lost connection
after working for a while. The wifi signal and status it's show connected
also ifconfig have IP but can not connect to internet and filed to ping 8.8.8.8
The problem should result from the power saving controlled by firmware.
I'd suggest to disable it by default and re-enable it after firmware fixes
this issue.
BTW. the firmware I tested from linux-firmware git tree is
rtlwifi/rtl8723befw.bin
