My problem is that wireless is enabled in my router and works on other devices, the wireless switch is on in my laptop but connection only works with cable. I haven't tried logging in other networks, but the fact that I can see my nieghbours' and not mine makes me think that I could connect to theirs (if they were open!). I am next to my router but only my mobile gets online.
I can't find what is wrong. Is it possible that I have carelessly blacklisted my home network or that something was uninstalled?
I'm a beginner so let me know if there are any commands I need me to type to detect the problem. Any help is appreciated.
Cheers!
PS: For the command lspci -knn | grep Net -A2
the output is
