Edit: After reinstalling the network manager the WiFi worked for 2 days, but now again it appears to be on, but doesn't show any available networks. I tried to connect to to the networks by the "connect to hidden networks" option, but that also failed. sudo systemctl restart network-manager doesn't show a message anymore and seems to restart the network (I'm connected to the internet via an USB cable to my phone) systemctl status NetworkManager shows:

sudo iwconfig shows following:

lo no wireless extensions.

Everything was fine before, but after I updated to Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS just an hour or so ago, my WiFi doesn't find any networks. I restarted my system several times and nothing changed.

Here's the output of 'lspci -knn | grep Net -A3; rfkill list'

  • From what version of Ubuntu did you upgrade from? Does iwconfig show anything? What about systemctl status NetworkManager? Please add to your question.

If your network manager is not restarting then try to reinstall and restart your pc. Maybe it will work. Here is the network manager deb file find which one is suitable for you. network manager

I am not sure it will work or not ...

    Today the WiFi worked at first, but after I restarted the computer it stopped working. The network manager shows me no available WiFi networks. I tried reinstalling the network manager and did several restarts, but it still doesn't work.
