My problem is with installing i ball 3.5G wireless connect modem in ubuntu 16.04. I referred to the following answer on the site https://askubuntu.com/questions/384562/how-do-i-get-an-iball-3-5g-modem-working-on-ubuntubut I could only get the Airtel-connect option visible in the menu. I'm still not able to connect. I tried the edit connections option still it's the same. I'm a newbie to Linux so can someone help me out?
PS:I don't have any other means to connect to net so I'm unable to install wvdial or any other thing for that sort

wvdial seems to be something you can try. Firstly, did you check the details about the modem? open a terminal and post the output of lsusb. Also, I can hardly understand the scenario where you mention Airtel connection is listed/visible from the menu? Beforehand, open a terminal and run tail -f /var/log/kern.log in Ubuntu 17.10 or tail -f /var/log/messages in 16.04 and try to connect using the network-manager dialer (click on airtel). Post the result. These links may be interesting: http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/bb/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1513&view=previous https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/USB_3G_Modem
