Hi wxl!
- You can
ping your router, right?
Nope
- Does
nmcli device show the wls4 device in the connected state on the HUAWEI-B535-84B5 connection?
Yup
- Can you ping other devices on the same network?
No. And other devices cannot ping me.
- Can you
dig +short lubuntu.me successfully?
Nope
- If not, can you
ping 192.99.139.35 successfully?
Nope
- Are we sure there isn’t something about how the network is set up via the router that would prohibit certain devices from connecting?
I don’t think so. I did factory reset the router lots of times, and I’m using all the default values. The only parameter that I’ve changed is that I set off the 5 GHz wlan, because I know that this notebook does not work at that frequency (with all the distros that I heve used on it).
- Failing all that, if you use a live version of 19.10, do you still have the same problem? Maybe you’ve tweaked something unfortunate about the config.
Yes I can try, but to use the wlan card of this notebook I need to install the broadcom b43 firmware: can I do it while using the live version?
Here below all the terminal outputs of the command you suggested:
