Open a terminal and type in

Code:

mintwifi

and post back what the terminal says after you hit enter. Use the code tags like I did.

also post

Code:

inxi -Fxx

also so members can see what you have and are running. All of course after reading the above post suggestion which I agree with 100 percent.

Hi,
There might be three possibilities -

1. You should use an anternative driver.
2. You have a power saver feature enabled.
3. There is a conflicting driver being loaded.

Ensure that the hardwired cable, if any, is disconnected and a fresh terminal is opened. You need to run

if your NIC is a USB dongle.

If it's integrated in the computer, run:

lspci

Also run:
ip a
and:
ip l
and
lshw -C network
and:
lsmod

Hope this will help you.
