Mint 21.1 - Wi Fi will connect via extender but not with router.

Post by st_36 »

I have installed Mint 21.1 on a Dell D630 laptop. Everything running fine except Wi Fi connection. I can connect via my Netgear Wi Fi extender but not directly from the router. I have two other Dell D630s one running 20.3 and the other 21.1 and both connect fine. I have tried deleting the network and reconnecting but it makes no difference. iwconfig shows the text below when not connected to the extender. Any help gratefully received. Thank you.
