Why are you so determined to make CentOS work on a laptop? If you want to study for Red Hat exam, create a VM instead. CentOS hardly support hardware the requires propriety drivers.
Learning Red hat so preferred to work on Base Machine in Centos
But we talked about that in another thread, you'd never use CentOS or RHEL on the base machine in production, so you are doing exactly what you shouldn't be doing here - you are spending all of your time learning non-production fixes that wouldn't come up in the real world because you aren't treating CentOS like you should for learning.
If you wanted to learn CentOS in a meaningful way, you'd run Fedora or Ubuntu or something else appropriate on the laptop, and then put CentOS in a VM, just like you'd use on the test or in production.
Your statement should have been "Learning Red Hat so preferred to avoid putting it on the base machine."
Yes I remember already Ubuntu worked where the Fedora where the wifi didnt work.But as per your advice the Ubuntu or Fedora is good for the Base machine.I will try to install ubuntu which is stable to work with the Wifi option also ?
To answer the question, yes almost certainly Ubuntu will work with Wireless.
To learn about CentOS on Ubuntu or Fedora Desktop you can install KVM and create a VM (assuming your hardware supports virtualization).

That and Fedora would be the best bets for it to work yes.

Last time created one thread for the Fedora where the Wifi didnt work

Did you use Fedora Server rather than Fedora Workstation?

se Fedora Server rather than Fedora Workstatio
Fedora Workstation only

@Lakshmana it's possible that there just aren't drivers built into the system. You might have to install 3rd party drivers to get the wireless NIC to work.

Why would you use an old version? This exacerbates your issues. You need to use the latest that you can get for the best driver support. Never use old products intentionally.
Ubuntu 17.10 is most of the way through its life already, 18.04 is just three months away!

Especially if you are planning on using KVM.

And especially if on a laptop.

But OLD Ubuntu, that is expected to have lots of issues because it is not up to date, right?

Yes Now WiFi Detected will go with KVM and then Centos will run it
