Are you trying to connect to a network called 'linksys'? If so, it appears to be connected.

A wild stab in the dark...
Run these one line at a time.
To check if it's working...Code:ifconfig wlan0 up iwconfig wlan0 essid linksys dhcpcd wlan0
Code:ping -c 3 google.comAs far as my understanding goes, it isn't actually connected but the device just knows the network is there.Are you trying to connect to a network calle 'linksys'? If so, it appears to be connected.

Right now I am connected via wired so i can message here.
When i connect the modem to the router and go wireless I can see the networks (linksys is this connection) but I can't access the connection
I ran the first two commands but the third
:Code:sudo dhcpcd wlan0 sudo: dhcpcd: command not found
The command should be:
Code:sudo dhcpd wlan0

Looks good to me. Disconnect the wire and see if the wireless works.Code:DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8 DHCPOFFER of 192.168.1.100 from 192.168.1.1 DHCPREQUEST of 192.168.1.100 on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPACK of 192.168.1.100 from 192.168.1.1 bound to 192.168.1.100 -- renewal in 36575 seconds.
