Hi:
The wifi card manufacturer did not develop any W8 drivers for the Realtek RTL8723BE-VB 802.11b/g/n 1x1 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 4.0 combination WLAN adapter your notebook has.
So...if you want to use the internal wifi, you will have to connect via ethernet, do the required updates to W8, so you can get the free upgrade to W8.1 from the Windows Store, and then you can install these W8.1 wifi and bluetooth drivers...

For the LAN driver, download unzip and run the setup application from the W8 driver at the link below...
