My wifi connection seems to be very weak and the range is very low. It drops by two bars if I just move to the next room and by two if just step outside.
The speed is also not fast as compared to what I get from the router on my desktop .
My laptop is a HP laptop with RTL8723de module. Can anyone help me in bumping up my wifi speed?

Quite often, the weak signal is a symptom of the antenna wire being connected to connection #1 on the card when the default driver is expecting to see the signal at connection #2. Of course, you could open the laptop and switch the wire or you could try a driver parameter that permits antenna selection at the driver level.
From the terminal:
sudo modprobe -r rtl8723de
sudo modprobe rtl8723de ant_sel=2
Any improvement? If so, we'll write one conf file and make it permanent.
If there is no improvement, try the sequence again with ant_sel=1and report the result.
EDIT: Since you have determined that 2 is helpful, create a file that will make the parameter permanent:
sudo -i
echo "options rtl8723de ant_sel=2" > /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8723de.conf
exit
You should be all set.

It will be lost unless we write a quick one line conf file. Is it better with 2 or 1? I shall edit my answer to give the procedure once we know which it is.
