My laptop is Compaq 510. This is fresh install and everything else is working fine. I can use internet/network via cable. I can use wifi via my mobile phone hotspot. But I cannot connect my home router and office router. All networks are configured with WPA2. No error message or whatsoever, it just did not connect. I tried to set manual ipv4, then it connect but unable to use/ping anything other than self. I was trying to figure out using various websites and so far nothing is working.
I have development and administration experience in Windows platform but totally newbies in linux. I have been testing Mint on VM since 14 and this is my first time decided to run as host OS. It is working as intended, except I can't connect my router via wifi. Please help me.

Found a couple things, it appears that access point Calvin is using a mixed mode security still(TKIP and CCMP, TKIP has caused issues in Linux) and power management is enabled on the card but it is easy to disable power management
What is the current setting on your router for 11 a/b/g/n?
Yes, I'm from Singapore. Commands run and value set. (still no connection to wifi router)
Current router config is BGN mixed, 2.4 GHz, Channel 3, WPA/WPA2 Personal, AES with same passcode (unchanged, for the other existing devices.) Every other devices, iPhone, Android Phone, Android Tablet, Windows 8 laptop, current laptop with XP had no issue. I really don't understand why ...
I had one of these that worked but I use a ZTE hotspot, it is possible that there is something not quite right with the router and that the Intel Linux dev's haven't had one of these routers
It might be worth trying other channels on the router

Hi Jeremy, why would I need to run "while connected to Nexus" ?
I mean I can connect my laptop using cable and it's working fine.
I have tried changing several channels on my router too.
The thing is "this computer work almost everything I need" except I can't move my laptop around because I need to connect it to the cable. Because it cannot connect my router via Wi-Fi. Other than this, everything else is working. It is like a few grain of sand in your favorite food.

It might be time to get a newer wifi card anyhow if yours is easy to replace. I would actually recommend a newer Intel card, something like a 1030- it is a bit older but uses the iwlwifi module. I would advise against the newer 7000 cards and anything with WiMax and they might not be compatible with your computer
