  • Go to network icon, select Edit connections, delete the settings for your wifi network. Then try to reconnect to create new settings. Or do sudo rm /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/accesspointname and reconnect . Same thing – Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy Aug 08 '15 at 18:04
  • @Serg, I tried this option, but its giving the same problem again – naman arora Aug 08 '15 at 18:11
  • OK. Well, I guess we can go a bit further with this - run the diagnostic script, link the results here, and we will see. – Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy Aug 08 '15 at 18:18
  • Hi, I ran it, it just shows ########## wireless info START ##########, nothing else – naman arora Aug 08 '15 at 18:33
  • This is not right. Run it again. Follow the instructions. You should have info about your wireless card, drivers, and connections listed bellow that line – Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy Aug 08 '15 at 18:51
  • Hi, Yes, I was doing it wrong, the output is in the link provided. I cannot post it here as it exceeds the character limits. http://1drv.ms/1KWrPjF – naman arora Aug 08 '15 at 19:55
  • @SergiyKolodyazhnyy Although this is an old post/comment. I tried your suggestion, but it showed cannot remove ... : No such file or directory. Could you help with this? – user55777 Jul 31 '20 at 03:46
  • @user55777 More recent versions of Ubuntu use netplan instead of network-manager, so it is quite possible for the file or the directory not to exist. Perhaps a new question on the site , with your Ubuntu version and the steps you've tried, could attract those who know about more this issue in context of your OS release and specific issue, and they just might share more light on what's happening. – Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy Jul 31 '20 at 04:02
  • @SergiyKolodyazhnyy oh... yes, I am using ubuntu 18.04 and actually post a question yesterday. – user55777 Jul 31 '20 at 04:41

I believe the incorrect driver is installed. With a temporary working internet connection, open a terminal and do:

sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer

Reboot and let us know if the performance has improved.

Exra credit, by the way, for posting the wireless script on Microsoft Drive!
