The first command said is already at newest version
The second command put my laptop to aeroplane mode
And the third command put my laptop to normal mode and switched off aeroplane mode

Check this one,
sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source

I ran the command and gave my laptop a restart and my wifi is gone . In settings no wifi tab. After searching it in settings I found wifi and clicking it says no wifi adapter found . Now what to do ? Should I run this command so i will reinstalll it ?

sudo apt install bcmwl-kernel-source

It's Right There, Isn't it working?

37

No it's not there in my system . I clicked this photo from Google

I Have No Idea, But you want a Shortcut right?
Go to settings < keyboard < application shortcut. Click add.
Then it will ask you for command, enter software-properties-gtk
then select the shortcut you want. Now it will open the software updater everytime you use that shortcut. This should solve your problem indirectly :wink:

Don't Do it Please, it can cause cascades of Ubuntu Failure and a lot of frustration. It is better you use a simple password.

I think it was an hardware issue because while mac was connected to 5ghz it was causing that issue but now using 2.4ghz i have not yet faced any issue

I suppose your mac did not had 5ghz hardware. But, you need to use another channel for your mac. As, other devices in your house may also be using 5ghz network and they might get affected :thinking:
