Plugging In Iphone Disables Wifi

<< < (3/3)

Clean:
First off, I hope that I am in the right place and posting with the correct format.

I have an issue.  Mainly my issue is I have WAY to much to do.  But, I have been using Linux lite for about a year now.  And the ease of use has made me quite inept at understanding Linux.  I really do not know how to navigate directories and understand much of the Linux structure.  But, I still do not want to abandon Linux if I do not have to. 

Tonight, I plugged my iPhone into my Linux lite Dell Inspiron 1525 in order to try and upload some picture off of it for work.
I shouldn't have done this.  It was stupid as could be.  I am my family computer person, and I cannot tell you how often the Wi-Fi of an older model laptop/desktop goes down from plugging in an iPhone. 
This is a very common problem for me, as my mother constantly plugs in her iPhone to her HP laptop (the 3rd one now) and then whatya know the Wi-Fi stops working.  It happens with older desktops as well, but I just plug those in to ethernet. 

I do not think this is a coincidence.  It is far to common for this to be the case. 
My question is, is there a restore point on Linux lite?
Or is there a way to search and destroy whatever was done to my networking tonight after plugging in my iPhone? 
I cannot even view the networks, which is new to me, as I am usually able to view the Wi-Fi networks in my area but I am not able to connect.
This time they do not even come up.

If there is no solution, I will probably just abandon Linux, as I do not have the time.  I do not want to do this, but my life is too stressful to have to deal with Apple screwing over my devices constantly.
Please help.  I am all ears.  Whatever information you need I will get.
I must remind you, you will have to speak to me as a small child.  I have used windows most of my life and will need direction on how to go about commands in the terminal.

Thanks in advance.
