Hello there! Çizgi here. A fellow gamer that wanted to move to Zorin OS. I have been desperately attempting to switch but always had this almost unsolvable problem in ANY distro. I have my wifi module working and wifi interface looking normal. But when I connect and try to do anything that needs internet it doesn't work. I am connected yet nothing works.
I tried so many things although I don't remember most of them. I am determined to solve this than to go back to windows. Most of the things I tried was suggested by Claude AI because I couldn't find any useful solutions on the forums. (Or maybe i missed the useful ones by accident and pure bad luck)
I believe we can at least find out what's the cause of all this.
My wifi chip is Intel Tiger Lake ax201. My laptop's model is Asus TUF F15 fx506hc. My router is ZTE. My ISP is Vodafone and they sell me static ip adress for some reason. So I guess I'm under CGNAT or something. Maybe this is why but i don't want to buy anything before being sure of the source of this issue.
Ask me anything that would help you to diagnose something. Thank you for reading!
Could You post the Output of the Terminal Commands rfkill list and sudo lshw -C network please?
Another Thing: Does Your System run in Wayland or X11? You can check that with the Command echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
When it should run in Wayland, You could try it with switching to X11/Xorg. to do that, go to the Login Screen. Click there on Your Profile so that the Password Field appears. When it is appeared, You should see a Gear Icon in the bottom right Corner. Click on it and choose the Option ''Zorin Desktop on Xorg'' and then log in.
