I recently upgraded my Ubuntu from 17.10 to 18.10 and I have lost my WiFi adapter drivers I can't see WiFi option in the menu list. I have tried installing drives from repo https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new but I guess I have messed my entire network setting. Please help.

Realtek RTL8723BE wireless network adapter has problems managing the antenna in Ubuntu which leads to weak wifi signal problems. To fix it follow these steps.
Disable the Secure Boot option in the UEFI setup utility in order to make the wifi option visible in Ubuntu.
Open the terminal and type:
iwconfig
Note down the wlp number. In this example it's wlp13s0.
Go to this link, download the driver zip file to your desktop, and unzip the archive.
Run these commands from the terminal.
cd ~/Desktop
cd rtlwifi_new-master
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe -rv rtl8723be
sudo modprobe -v rtl8723be ant_sel=2
sudo ip link set wlp13s0 up
sudo iw dev wlp13s0 scan
Run the following command to make the settings permanent.
echo "options rtl8723be ant_sel=2" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/50-rtl8723be.conf
