Please tell us what wireless card you have. Open a terminal and run and post:

lspci -nn | grep 0280

The pipe symbol | is on the right side of my US keyboard on the same key with \. Thanks.

Your wireless should work just fine. Please let us see:

rfkill list all

Thanks.

[geekking]

rfkill list all
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes

[chili555]

rfkill list all
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes

That suggests that the switch or key combination has the wireless switched off. Can you please switch it?

[geekking]
