I have dell inspiron 15r turbo 7520 with windows 8 pre installed. I have dual booted the system with Ubuntu 14.04 and I am new to ubuntu. Wi-Fi is showing to be connected but I am not able to access network. When I enter the command (lspci -nn | grep 0280)on terminal it shows Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless -N 2230 [8086:0887] (rev c4) For iwconfig it shows eth0 no wireless extensions. lo no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:"UG_4thyr" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: E8:BA:70:61:0A:E7 Bit Rate=13 Mb/s Tx-Power=16 dBm Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:on Link Quality=61/70 Signal level=-49 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:23 Missed beacon:0

  • Can you type iwconfig in terminal and paste what it returns here? Oct 12, 2014 at 8:22

  • Small suggestion - edit your question to include the output from iwconfig so other users can see. So wifi is showing to be connected, right? Have you tried going to google.com ? If you can get to google but no other website, your problem may be similar to what i encountered before On my Fedora , i could connect to google but no other website. What i did is go to firefox's about:config page, and search for ipv. Check if network.dns.disableipv6 is set to false Oct 12, 2014 at 20:29
  • @Xieerqi I will update the question as per your suggestion and no I am not able to reach for google.com

As you mentioned that you are using ubuntu 14.04 so do the following steps to correct the problem:

  1. Open Software & Updates and go to Additional Divers
  2. Install the fitting driver from there.
  3. Restart your system
  4. Now your WiFi will definitely work and it will show the WiFi signals (within its range) also.
