Wireless problem in Hp ab-029TX with ubuntu 14.04 Realtek

Question

I bought a new Hp pavilion 15 ab-029TX. I installed ubuntu 14.04 alongside windows8. There is a problem with accessing wireless in ubuntu. It shows either out of range or doesn't connect to the internet. I'm new to linux. Any help will be much appreciated.

Please [edit] your question and add output of lspci -knn | grep Net -A2 terminal command. — Pilot6, Sep 27 '15 at 07:56

How can I install it without internet since I don't have an internet connection? Is there any way that I can download in windows and install from ubuntu? — Vamshi Kumar Kurva, Sep 30 '15 at 12:18

You can install this driver offline.

Download these files and copy them to your Home folder in Ubuntu:

dkms

rtlwifi-new-dkms

linux-firmware

Then run in terminal:

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

When I click on dkms link it is saying "Sorry, we can't find your kernels". – Vamshi Kumar Kurva Oct 01 '15 at 17:00
@user455102 The package has been upgraded. I fixed the link. – Pilot6 Oct 01 '15 at 18:06
Even after restarting the problem exists. Still showing the network out of range. Installation was fine without errors. – Vamshi Kumar Kurva Oct 03 '15 at 08:37
