Possible duplicate of 16.04 Wifi / ethernet issues after updating from 14.04 Just replace wlan0 with wlo1 in the files as I suspect power management for wireless is part of the problem — Jeremy31, Oct 18 '16 at 09:24
I have turned power management off . But that didn't fix my problem @Jeremy31 — ksohan, Oct 18 '16 at 13:22

I don't know how to :( . Can you give any link or video for doing that ? @Jeremy31 — ksohan, Oct 21 '16 at 06:17
I think there was problem with my network manager . I installed WICD and that's working fine for me :) . Thanks for your help @Jeremy31 — ksohan, Oct 21 '16 at 10:08
Did you uninstall or disable network manager? If you did, the issue was likely network manager enabling power management on the wireless — Jeremy31, Oct 21 '16 at 10:36
