Wireless Connects But No Internet Connection After 19 Upgrade

Post by LTheobald »

Hi all,

I recently upgraded to Mint 19 & now I have no internet connection when on a WIFI connection. Via ethernet is fine. I've tried both on our companies enterprise WIFI & a personal hotspot from my phone, so I'm assuming it's a problem with all WIFI connections. As a side note, whenever I go into Network & chose a wireless network with a secret key, it never asks me for the key. I've tried manually recreate the wireless setup to see if that helped but it didn't.

Output from JeremyB's script is here: https://pastebin.com/M1tvK4MM

Thanks for any help.
Lee,

See if it improves after

Code: Select all

sudo sed -i 's/wifi.powersave = 3/wifi.powersave = 2/' /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf
systemctl restart network-manager.service
It must be the work connection that makes your wifi TX drop to 8 dBm and that might be an issue with the wifi at work
