Hi guys,
I'm trying to connect to a wifi. I has been using it before and nothing happened with it since then. However it is invisible to me now (I reinstalled from mint 15 of 16 to mint 17). I can see may be 20 different wifis there but can't this particular one. My mobile phone is able to connect to it. I have tried to use the proprietary driver of wificard - without success. I have never had problems with connecting to a wifi. The wifi is 802.11n and I am able to see another such a wifi.
What could I do?
I would be grateful for any suggestions.

Re: One particular wifi is invisible
Channel: 12, b, g, n, 144.4 Mbps, Infrastracture.
There are two other wifies on this channel. I can see neither of them. However the computer I investigated the channels with has stronger wifi, therefore it does not have to be the reason (the channel). The wifi I am trying to connect is the strongest at the place so it should not be problem of signal.

Re: One particular wifi is invisible
What does or reveal?
Code: Select all
iwlist channels
Code: Select all
iw reg get
Re: One particular wifi is invisible
It reveals that the channel 12 and also some other (e.g. 13) are missing.
By what it can be caused? Does the hot spot change its channel? It was working before reinstallation of my computer - do I miss something now to have it working?
Edit: the output of iw reg get (I don''t understand to it)

Unfortunately I cannot try the wifi right now, anyway I can see the channel 12 in iwlist channel so I suppose it will be working
