Ran liveCD from disc to check a few things out.. wifi found and connect to my router just fine.
The instant I installed same version to hard drive.
- Wifi finds my router and sees correct security but when I type my password to connect router it doesn't.. never does connect, but re-finds and retries connection upon failed connection attempts
note.. I have tried with hardline connected and not connected, this doesn't matter.
I have tried re-installing Linux Mint, this didn't matter either
ANY help will be greatful. I'm at a complete loss.. Also my laptop is a HP 7245us if that helps any A10 AMD cpu.
AGAIN, if you are wanting more informaiton PLEASE specific about how to get what you need, i'm semi fluent with Linux but I still have a lot to learn
