To install the module for the RTL8723DE chipset, first determine your kernel using uname -r if your kernel is lower than 4.11, do

sudo apt-get install build-essential dkms git
git clone -b 4.10-down https://github.com/jeremyb31/rtl8723de.git
sudo dkms add ./rtl8723de
sudo dkms install rtl8723de/5.1.1.8_21285.20171026_COEX20170111-1414

Then reboot

If you have kernel 4.11 and newer do

sudo apt-get install build-essential dkms git
git clone https://github.com/jeremyb31/rtl8723de.git
sudo dkms add ./rtl8723de
sudo dkms install rtl8723de/5.1.1.8_21285.20171026_COEX20170111-1414

Then reboot

If you wish to stop power management for the device and change the logging level to minimum

echo "options 8723de rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_drv_log_level=0" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/8723de.conf

If you have UEFI, Secure Boot will need to be disabled for the module to load.
