WIFI appears to connect to my mesh network, and I can ping 8.8.8.8 and websites. However, Firefox and Discover cannot use the connection. If I use my much slower non-mesh wifi, everything works, but then I can’t get to my printer which is on the mesh. Several other computers (running Windows or IOS), phones and TVs have no problem with the mesh wifi and it worked for this computer with Ubuntu, from which I switched a few days ago.
I have tried turning airplane mode on and off (why should that work? But someone suggested it on this site). It did not work for me.
I’m not expert with Linux commands so I don’t know how to diagnose. Any ideas?
