Not Connecting to Internet <SOLVED>

Post by loybanks »

Each time I go to my Desktop HP loy-23se-d394 Machine when I get up in the morning my LinuxMint 20.2 is not connecting to my Internet. Once connected all is good. But why am I not connecting. It used to connect without issues. Now it doesn't. Each time I have to reboot to get connected. Need some help.

Yes I have restarted the Modem a number of times. And as I have already started I have to reboot the machine in order to connect to the Internet.

Everything there looks good, so I see no obvious cause. As a guess, try Disable IPv6 here:

I assume it's wifi that won't connect, correct? If so, maybe something in this thread will help:

Frankly I ended up using command line

sudo service network-manager restart

I had intended to post my solution but simply forgot. Thanks for waking me up.
