I'm new to the Linux world and I've already got a problem. The Wi-Fi connection on my mini PC (Beelink BT3-Pro) doesn't work. LAN connection works fine, but right now I can't use the Wi-Fi connection. I can "turn" it on but nothing happens. Before Lubuntu I've tried Elementary OS and I had the same problem. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller That's the name of the connection board. I've read online that it has a problem with Linux. I've also tried to follow few guides but I always get errors over errors. On Windows 10 the Wi-Fi connection used to work flawless. What can I do? I'm on the latest Lubuntu version. Also, could you explain to me every single step? I doesn't know Linux at all, but I want to learn!

Thank you Guiverc, this command is so cool!
I've watched a video of a teardown and there isn't a wifi card to remove :(

Nothing happens if I type modprobe r8169 on the terminal
