Thanks to Duncan Roe for his suggestion. I apologize for my delay to answer. I'm now traveling and I prefer not to change my kernel. When I back to home I'll try kernel 4.2. Thanks.

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.
