Hello,
I (apparently) misconfigured something on my netbook, so I can no longer access the Wi-Fi. Now I'm struggling to navigate through all the information that appears there, and I don't even know what to do with the relevant terms.
It would be very nice if someone could support me and be willing to patiently give advice on unprofessional questions.
Thank you and have a good transition into the new year, Wolfgang

Loading...Hello everyone, I'm facing the following problem: I want to install Wi-Fi or an internet network in my basement. Unfortunately, since the basement isn't in the same building and is surrounded by thick concrete, laying cables or using a DLAN, repeater, etc. isn't possible. The basement has a thicker pipe that leads outside into a…
Hello, since my boyfriend and I don't have proper Wi-Fi in our new apartment yet, we temporarily borrowed a Gigacube. It worked for a few days and now the internet connection is down. Of your 3 points (Power, Wifi, Network) only Power & Wifi are lit and Network is flashing. What can I do to…
So, first of all, this is my boyfriend's PC, which is already pretty weird in itself. However, I'm wondering why he's getting about 40 Mbps download speed over LAN and 84 Mbps over WiFi. On top of that, Epic is downloading at about 4 MB over his WiFi? Does anyone know why his WiFi is…
Hello, we've been having massive problems with online gaming, such as Call of Duty, for a few months now… Our internet provider is Telekom and we have a 100 line there. We had a Smart 4 as a router, but we switched to a FritzBox 7590 AX two days ago. And it didn't need any…
My room is quite far from the router, and I somehow never have internet when it's just me using it. So, at night or when everyone else is at work, nothing works at all. Could there be any explanation for this?
Hello, I recently moved into my new apartment and wanted to get fiber optic installed. According to Telekom, drilling would be necessary from outside the door and laying a 3m cable if I don't have a connection in the apartment. Now my question is, is this already a fiber optic connection? Do you need a…
Hello Wolfgang,
it could be that you don’t have the required WLAN drivers have you installed?
Was your netbook already via LAN cable or even via WLAN connection on the net?
The computer should first Cable connection from you, then you can Further steps to install the required drivers or to activate the WLAN again by software. I guess first apt-get update && apt-get upgrade via LAN cable to make sure your Netbook can easily create an Internet connection.
Please give us Further information about your exact Operating systems and in the best case also closer to your Network adapter.
Best regards

A friend accepted the thing and after div. Try to get rid of the Lan and WLan affair. Unfortunately, the most common proposals did not work. Also not by Lan, apologise; had failed to indicate this as not working.
1. Network symbol
Click on the network icon in the taskbar and make sure Wi-Fi is enabled.
Two. Enable WiFi
Check if the WLAN adapter is on (sometimes there is a physical button or ‘Fn’+ ‘F2’ buttons).
3. Select a network.
Select your Wi-Fi network from the list and enter the password.
4. Check drivers.
If it does not work, open a terminal, type `lspci` or `lsusb` to identify the WLAN adapter, and search for drivers.
Report if you need more help!
Hannibal, that sounds great. I didn’t expect such quick answers. Just wanted to drive my Windows computer down because I still got to do errands.
I’ll do your instructions later. Thank you
It’s not important.
If the kernel has no drivers for the WLAN hardware, then usually only hope it does a future Linux version.
Alternatively, a WLAN USB stick supported by the kernel would be (important! Before buying!), a viable alternative.
That sounds frustrating, but maybe it can be solved quickly. Have you already checked if the WLAN adapter is activated? It often helps to update the driver or restart the router. If you like, you can share the exact terms or error messages here, you can better address the problem!
Without more detailed information on the OS, you cannot really help. Evtl. helps in the iw or iwconfig console to find out more about what your device has with regard to. Wi-Fi is just thing. Add this information in the OP! Example for Ubuntu: https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/WLAN/
Since it’s about command line records, this probably works in most modern Linux-Distris.
