Realtek RTL8723AU not working on Linux Mint 18.1

I just installed Linux Mint 18.1 (Xfce) on my Lenovo Yoga 13. As with the 17 version my wifi card (realtek rtl8723au) did not work after installation and I tried to solve it as I did for the previous installation sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-generic linux-headers-uname -r sudo apt-get install git #git cd /tmp mkdir wifi #Wifi git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723au.git wifi #driver cd wifi make && sudo make install cd .. #/tmp sudo rm -r wifi This worked perfectly in the previous case but not now. **Edit** I have found that if I disable and re-enable the wifi in the network menu it connects for about 1 minute but then stops working again and can not find any networks.
