Realtek Wifi Driver Problem

cn flag

I have been trying all the possible solutions here and other sites for the last day in order to solve my Wifi connection problem. I do have Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS. Whenever I click to check wifi networks I don't see any. It only says no networks.

sudo lshw -class network

This is the output:

I tried to install Realtek drivers using this example. However, none of my work has given me a positive outcome. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Edit 1(asked by the user @chili55):

rfkill list all

Gives the output:

0: hci0: Bluetooth
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no

Edit 2: Tried the solution given in here. It didn't work out as well.

DISABLED usually means that the hardware switch or key combination is set to disable the wireless radio. Please edit your question to show the result of the terminal command: `rfkill list all` Welcome to Ask Ubuntu.

@chili555 First of all, thank you for your response. I have updated my output.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
