I can connect to my house's wireless network just fine, but when I'm connected I can't browse the web. Firefox starts connecting to a site and then just poops out. This doesn't happen on my roommates' computers (running Windows) or on our 3DSes, so I know it's just my laptop.

This other user's answer solved my problem.

I would post this as an answer, but the site keeps converting it to a comment. Thank you for all the suggestions, though!

  • Done. (Do I need to comment when I've done it, or can you track edits?)

  • You sure the password is correct and that 192.168.0.1 is your router IP? If you are sure, then run sudo dhclient wlan0. And no, any update has to be commented or I don't get a message.

You can open this file:

sudo -H gedit /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf

And add this line:

options ath9k nohwcrypt=1

Reboot to see if it works.

If not, it may be this bug:

  • Thank you, but that doesn't seem to have made any difference. To clarify, my problem isn't with the wireless connection itself. It connects just fine. I just can't browse the web while connected.
