Ubuntu 18.04 not detecting any wifi network but detects mobile hotspot
Complete Linux beginner here.
I installed Ubuntu 18.04 yesterday, dual booting with Windows 8.1.
When trying to connect to a WiFi network, it doesn't detect any of the networks (not mine or my neighbors'). I tried creating a hotspot from my Android phone and to my surprise, it detected it immediately.
I searched around on the internet and tried restarting the network manager service, changing the channel on my router, and some other things, but nothing worked.
When I boot into Windows, my wifi along with all the other networks is detected and connects with no problem.
Edit: Here's the output of running lspci -knn | grep Net -A3

@Pilot6 I tried the suggested solution and changed the antenna both to 1 & 2, but it didn't work. I took my laptop and moved closer to the router and it detected the network. Any permanent solution?
