  1. when i connect the stick to power adapter , wifi works perfectly and i am able to connect the internet from android phone and laptop windows.ubuntu connects to the wifi but internet doesn't work (doesn't load any page) but i can load configuration page through the browser 192.168.8.1
  2. when i plug the stick to usb port on my laptop:
    in windows , the internect works perfectly and it appear as LAN caple connected to laptop.
    in ubuntu , a notification appear saying

The above means the device was correctly identified and is working as expected via an emulated Ethernet connection.

Knowing that it is also connected to the mobile network as evidenced by other devices using its own WiFi AP as well as the modem's web interface showing a functional internet connection, then it must be a DNS problem. In order to correct this please edit /etc/resolv.conf and add nameserver 8.8.8.8.
