Wi-fi not working.

[Confused_nerd]

Hello, so I use linux mint 20.2 Uma, cinnamon version. Recently, my wifi has stopped working, like it shows connected but I can't do anything that requires internet.

It DOES NOT show connected, no internet. It shows connected. I know the problem is in the linux part because wifi is working perfectly on other devices, I'm making this post on my tablet which is connected to the same router.

My wifi adapter is Tenda: TE-W311MI
I think the problem is in the recent kernel update since everything was working before that update, but it stopped as sson as I applied the newest kernel updates.

What can I do to solve this? Thanks!

Do you have Timeshift set up, so you can Restore to a time when the wifi was working ?

I am not familiar with this range of products, and they do not list the chipsets in their equipment, they do however offer a Linux driver download to be found here...

Yes I do, thanks for reminding me. In the panic, I couldn't think.
