I know that this type of question has been asked before, but those solutions didn't work for me. I have recently installed Ubuntu 19.10 by removing Windows 10. After the installation, I was surprised to find that there is no WiFi option at all in the settings.

I have also checked the Network group, WiFi option was not there either.

Luckily, I am able to connect to internet through USB tethering on my Android phone.
Here is the output of lsusb command : 

Bus 002 Device 009: ID 0bda:f179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.

Here is the output of lshw command (only the WiFi dongle part): 

*-usb:1 UNCLAIMED
                      description: Generic USB device
                      product: 802.11n

                      configuration: maxpower=500mA speed=480Mbit/s

How to bring the WiFi option? Please ask if more information are needed.

  • There is no general solution "to fix Wi-Fi". "those solutions didn't work for me". Whusch solutions did you try that didn't work? You didn't provide information about your hardware. Are you using a USB dongle? – Pilot6 Feb 22 '20 at 11:55
  • Thanks a lot @Pilot6. The link that you provided indeed worked for me. Perhaps I didn't knew that the model of my adapter was **rtl8188fu**, that's why I didn't dared to try it before. – Puspam Feb 22 '20 at 15:47
