Hi everyone I have this huge problem , my laptop is a lenovo yoga 2 13 and I can't find the wi fi drivers. it schuld be realtek rtl8723be wireless lan 802.11 pci-e nic. I don't know what to do! I tred like 20 different installation drivers but none of them worked. basically I did the downgrade from win8.1 to win7 professional but I can't find the driver for win7. do you guys have any ideas?

I think it's in this,i presumed that you were on a 64bit o.s. and this is for a 32bit o.s.
the one in this link shows a 64bit driver too when i open it,

in device manager under "network adapters" there is only the bluetooth devices, I just need to install the driver of the wi fi but I can't find the right one! I installed the graphic card and it worked fine. So I don't really know what's the problem.

Are you sure that's your wifi card? -> rtl8723be
I looked at your laptop and in what i could find did it have this one,
http://ark.intel.com/nl/products/75439/Intel-Dual-Band-Wireless-AC-7260
for drivers,
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23992&lang=eng&ProdId=3714
or look for yourself,
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Default.aspx?lang=eng
or even see if this one does the trick,

Well, first of all thanks you Vic 40 for your help! I downloaded the drivers you sent me, but it still doesn't work, when I open the Manual diagnostic tool of the Intel Wi Fi itself it fails the hardware test and it says "wireless hardware is not bound to transport driver"
I am 100% sure that the wi fi card is that. I have just this problem: I install the wi fi card from the link I found the driver here http://www.driverscape.com/download/realtek-rtl87223be-wireless-lan-802.11n-pci-e-nic it is the second link, it works for like the installation, actually, at first it says, "driver not found" then " wait, driver found" then I can connect to the wi fi and to my router, but after like 2 minutes it crashes, and I have to reinstall the whole thing again.

try looking for the motherboard model in the device manager, once you find that, you should be able to find the complete drivers for the motherboard.
in those drivers you should be able to find your network driver, there wil also be some other drivers for your sound card and others.
simply install the drivers for the network card and you should be good to go.

oh my gosh. I guess I did it. I don't even know how, I just went to device manager then "realtek rtl87..." then update drivers, I downloaded a random driver found on another website, I installed the driver for win7 32bit manually, and now it's working. I don't even know how. wow, thank you to everyone so much!
