Xubuntu 18.04.5 LTS BCM4311 Wifi works, but no internet

wf flag

I have the original version of Xubuntu 18.04.5 LTS. But the same problem on any version of Linux. Notebook ACER Aspire 5310 (BCM4311) Immediately after installation, I remove the drivers (sudo apt purge bcmwl-kernel-source), download (using a VPN (PPTP) connection) and install firmware-b43-installer, otherwise my wifi does not work at all. I connect to it, but the Internet does not work. I connect from the phone to the same wifi and everything is in order. On win7 everything works fine.

What ip do you ping there `ping -c3 (ip) 0% pocket loss`? And how did you install `firmware-b43-installer`? It is unclear what you mean by "download (using a VPN (PPTP) connection) and install firmware-b43-installer"

@Pilot6 my local ip - 169.254.1.1. I mean that i have installed firmware-b43-installer (download via pptp, sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer)

What do you mean by "download via pptp"? can you explain it? You can't simply download that package and install. And it is toatally unclear how pptp is involved.

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.
