Thanks. It came out as a .txt file. I went through and blocked out my SSID name and network addresses since this is being posted on the internet. Here is the output.

Re: Wifi Disconnects Constantly

Post by JeremyB »

You should install Linux Mint 17 as 16 now longer has support. If the wifi doesn't work with 17 provide a new wireless-info. Posting SSID's and most IP addresses on the internet is no problem as a lot of SSID's are left to default and some IP addresses are private if they begin with 10 or 192
