This device is appearing in some OEM machines, but driver is not yet available upstream.
I have found this https://github.com/hadess/rtl8723bs thats works perfect but this must be by default.

WORKAROUND: sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-generic git
git clone https://github.com/hadess/rtl8723as.git
cd rtl8723as
make
sudo make install
sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe r8723bs
