[XoFoX1995]

HI everyone...
Recently I've decided to install a Linux and test it out for the first time...
And I searched alot in the Internet and finaly find the mighty mint and all I read about it is good things and I have decided to installed it in to my low end lap top... But
After installation is Done... I think I have a WiFi problem because WiFi was there I mean I have the option but the WiFi device can't find any WiFi signals at all...
SO
I searched alot for the solution but I can't find it and so I decided to create this topic to find the method to solve this problem... OK
And finally im pretty much newbie with Linux and seek for the solution please if anyone can help me

Latest Linux Mint is 18.3, not 18.
Are you using Cinnamon, KDE, XFCE or Mate?

The easiest way to answer that question, and give is lots of useful information about your hardware, is to post the result of the following terminal command, and enclose it in code tags. That's the button marked </>. Can you please do that?
This is needed for pretty much any question about your system, so it's a good habit to post it straight away.

THE CODE RESULT EDITED

[Sir Charles]

Would you please post the output from:

Code: Select all

rfkill list all

?

[XoFoX1995]

This is the result...

Code: Select all

0: phy0: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no
1: hci0: Bluetooth
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no

[Sir Charles]

Have you installed the drivers specific to your hardware?
You can go to Settings: Driver Manager and see if there are any suggested driver there. If positive, install and reboot.

[XoFoX1995]

The only thing that Driver manager shows me is this:

[Sir Charles]

They are installed.
Please post the outpu from:

Code: Select all

iwconfig

[XoFoX1995]

Here is the result

Code: Select all

lo        no wireless extensions.

wlp1s0    IEEE 802.11  ESSID:off/any

enp0s19f2u1  no wireless extensions.

[XoFoX1995]

I used the command that u gave me but nothing changed...
it's still the same...
deleted why?

[Sir Charles]

Try this:

Code: Select all

sudo ifconfig wlp1s0  up

and then run this:

Code: Select all

iwlist wlp1s0  scan

Wrong of me to delete. Just wanted to make a correction. Sorry about that.

[Sir Charles]

Code: Select all

 wlp1s0    IEEE 802.11  ESSID:off/any 

I wonder if ESSID:off/any means that there are no signals from the router.


When I run iwconfig, I get this:

Code: Select all

lo        no wireless extensions.
