WI-FI option is not showing

pg flag

I brought a new Asus laptop which has latest WI-FI 6. I installed Kubuntu 21.04 alongside Windows 10 (dual boot). Furthermore, I can use both Ethernet and WI-FI in Windows, but I can only use Ethernet in Kubuntu. There is no wireless connection option is showing in networking options.
The same problem encountered when I was using Deepin OS in this laptop.

Edit 1 :

How to solve the problem ?

EDIT 2 :

I follow command line steps and downloaded Linux kernel 5.12.8 (1,3,4,6 line *.deb) to install kernel 5.12.8 which support WI-FI 6.

I reboot my laptop and it first shows
enter image description here to select kernel version. (As by default it selected that kernel which I just installed). I hit enter, and then it shows

What should I do now ?

There is an insufficient amount of actionable information here. Can you [edit] your question to include the output of: (1) `sudo lshw -c network` (2) the output of `sudo lspci`. This will contain information about the hardware and drivers for your network device.

Please see my `Edit 2` section. I follow some steps to upgrade my kernel to 5.12.8 but ....

You have three options: (1) disable "Secure Boot" in your UEFI/BIOS (2) [sign the custom kernel](https://askubuntu.com/a/1182830/1222991) (3) install Ubuntu 21.04 overtop the existing installation

Thanks, done. Now my WI-FI is working, but sometimes it doesn't detect WI-FI. So I need to reboot again. If so again, then reboot again.

No worry. But please take a look on my [NEW question](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1363706/slow-shutdown-in-kubuntu).

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.
