Package Name or Section of Feren OS where this bug resides Where does this bug happen? (e.g.: feren-themer-cinnamon) ___ Wifi Network Wifi Network works on Windows 10, same PC Ethernet works in FerenOS with no problems

Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is. Wifi USB Adapter can scan networks, can connect to the router SSID, but can't browse Internet (DNS error)

Trying to fix it I mannualy setup DNS address and that not worked

Steps to Reproduce

1. Connect a Wifi USB Adapter
2. Connect to a network
3. Try to browse the web (Error) try with any browser, any network, same results

Expected behavior FerenOS can browse internet with an USB Wifi Adapter antenna.

Screenshots Firefox message: We can’t connect to the server at www.google.com.

If that address is correct, here are three other things you can try:

Try again later.
Check your network connection.
If you are connected but behind a firewall, check that Firefox has permission to access the Web.

Try checking for drivers in Driver Manager while both the adapter and the Ethernet are connected.

[achede22]

Driver Manager is empty, and No propietary drivers are in use.

I mean, the OS is saying your wireless network is at 0% Strength, so, uh, that WOULD explain the lack of DNS Resolving.

Did it work over in Windows?

[achede22]

The Router is just over the PC, and it works for Windows in the same PC, 100% signal strength, also for my mobile phone, PS4 and TV.

[dominichayesferen]

In that case... I'm stumped. Added 'Help Needed' for this case, though.
