Re: No internet connection
Can you tell us which things you have tried, so we don't waste time making the same suggestions again?
If your issue is solved, kindly indicate that by editing the first post in the topic, and adding [SOLVED] to the title. Thanks!
Re: No internet connection
I have tried adding iwlwifi-8000-ucode-25.30.13.0 but i wasn't able to complete the operation as it won't allow me to place the file in lib/firmware/ . I have tried windows wireless drivers it had worked once and resumed to not turn on after i restarted the computer. I have tried rfkill all to turn off all softblocks however the hardblock for wlan is still on.
Re: No internet connection
Since it's a hardblock: is there a WiFi switch on your machine?

Re: No internet connection
There is a wireless button on the bottom right of linux mint when i click it to turn on, it returns back to switched off. I have also tried combinations from online post of how to turn on and off wifi using fn and f2 (+ others) they didn't work for me.
Re: No internet connection
jenath, since you say it's hard-blocked, as Moem suggested, besides the enable/disable 'button', can you also check if there is a switch for it under BIOS' settings?
Re: No internet connection
Hi i checked the BIOS
Wireless LAN: enabled
Bluetooth:enabled
intel virtual technology: disabled
BIOS back flash: disabled
Both wifi and bluetooth doesn't work in linux mint for me

Re: No internet connection
...there was a similar bug report (for that model i mean) over at Ubuntu's forums:
https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2365047
As you can see, on page 2, someone says he/she solved by unloading a module & further disabling Intel Secure Platform under bios - however, if this will do the trick in your case as well, your guess is as good as mine...

Re: No internet connection
I have tried the the command and secure boot is disabled. When I restarted wifi is still not working.
Re: No internet connection
Bluetooth soft block and hard block is set to no but bluetooth has a message saying bluetooth is disabled by hardware switch.
