Hello, i just installed Zorin Core 17.1. and the wifi prompts me for my password over and over again without connecting.
I installed all updates without a problem, but this did not resolve my issue.
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
reboot
This didn't resolve my issue. So i tried making sure the wifi power saver mode was off.
sudo sed -i 's/3/2/' /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf
reboot
resulting in:
[connection]
wifi.powersave = 2
This again, didn't resolve my issue.
I then attempted to update the linux firmware drivers:
sudo apt install git
git clone https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware
cd linux-firmware
sudo mkdir /lib/firmware/updates
sudo mv * /lib/firmware/updates/
sudo update-initramfs -u
reboot
This got my bluetooth working, but did not resolve my wifi issue.
I then attempted connecting to the hotspot on my phone which works. So, i think may be an issue connecting the my TPLink AX4400 which merged the 2.4 & 5ghz bands into a single SSID. I created seperate SSIDs for 2.4ghz & 5ghz, but this also didn't resolve my issue. Has anyone had this type of issue and been able to resolve it?

Last note: I booted to Fedora 40 workstation, and i was able to connect to the SSID without issue.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
update: wifi also works in Ubuntu 24.04, but not Mint 21.3, so, this is definately a hardware driver issue. There must be something i'm missing to get that to the latest.
