And this one did nothing, correct?

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe rt2800usb
Did you try wifi with the ethernet cable unplugged? Sometimes ethernet blocks wifi.

sudo modprobe rt2800usb

I can create a hotspot, he finds a secret wifi, does't find, or maybe I cant find the settings for router wifi to connect to internet. After restart i had system crash, then I removed d-link pressed reset and mint loaded.

Now I have to write adresses IPv4 and IPv6. I got laptop that runs wifi fine on same version on mint. I need to find those numbers and where to put them, adress, netmask, getaway, domain name... I found some numbers, but not all of them.

Edit: I didn't have to fill the numbers, I just restarted my computer and internet works. Problem almost solved, I still need to turn on p2p.

Ty very much, greetings.

I can't help with that. Maybe start a new thread if it's still a problem.
