Hi all,
I have a rtl8723ae wifi card on my laptop. When connecting to any wifi Access Point 
the wifi signal fluctuates from full strength to very low.  In order to connect and 
stay connected I must be no farther than two meters from my router otherwise I get
disconnected. I have tried the kernel driver on multiple distros as well as the
vendor drivers for older kernel versions. All seem to have the same problem. The card
works ok on Windows 7 with vendor drivers. I have also tried compiling
backports-3.10-rc1-2 with no luck. During a signal loss period I get no logs but if I
take the laptop too far from the AP dmesg reports:

Does anyone know what might be wrong?
Cheers for the help.
