Dual boot windows ubuntu internet cannot connect to server

Question

I installed windows 10 trial version after Ubuntu 16.04, and my wifi and ethernet for Ubuntu stopped working. My Ubuntu used to have some wifi connection issues ( slow speed or cannot connect, which happens to all ubuntu systems, so that is another problem.), but usually ethernet works. The ethernet or wifi for windows 10 works fine. I suspect there is a driver conflict but I don't know what to do.

This answerhere suggest a solution for ethernet, but I couldn't find similar solution for wifi connections.

Ubuntu is also known for not being well-supported by most wifi chipset manufacturers, so I tried three wifi adapters rtl8192cu, TL-WN722N_V3(rtl8188eu), and TP-Link TL-WR710N (Atheros AR9331). Network Manager shows all of them can detect wifi signals from different routers, but they fail to connect to internet when I use browsers or ping command.

I can connect to the router 192.168.1.1.

I can't connect to https://tplinklogin.net, or 192.168.1.254, which is the admin page for setting the wifi adaptor TL-WR710N.

I can't connect to internet via either usb tethering or wifi hotspot to my phone data plan.

You should update your kernel version or try to find a compatible one.

Generally, running an upgrade on your current distro should install a newer kernel and ideally fix your issues

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt dist-upgrade

If you're still having driver issues after that, then you'd have to manually do a kernel downgrade to fix your problem.

Try this guide for that:

https://itsfoss.com/upgrade-linux-kernel-ubuntu/

Or if you wanna hit it terminal style, use this guide to get a stable kernel version and update likewise

What is the lastest stable kernel and how to install it?

EDIT: As from your comment, you can try to force the configuration by using dhclient For example, using the wlx503eaa705446 adapter

sudo dhclient wlx503eaa705446

That should force a network configuration for proper DNS resolution.

I don't have internet connection, so I can't use apt upgrade. Besides, my kernel is the 4.15, which very new. I will try downgrade it to 4.10 or 4.4. — Vespa, Sep 18 '18 at 20:13
I believed from the previous question that you had been able to fix the internet issues for LAN. — Bakare Emmanuel, Sep 18 '18 at 20:50
