Can't connect to wireless 13.10

  • 772

I have ubuntu installed as the sole OS on a T420. Before this I had installed the #! distro (and Xubuntu before that) and wireless worked seamlessly on either. My home hotspot shows up but when I click on it tries for a while before disconnecting.

Before going into the problem further, I wanted to double check that I entered the wifi password for my home network correctly. I went to Edit Connections >> Wi-Fi Security and changed the key, but it is still not able to connect. So I think the password is definitely correct. I don't understand why it can't connect now.

    Could you please try to remove the current access-point by changing to the directory. Using a terminal

    • Open a terminal (CTRL+ALT+T) & type below command in a sequence;
    cd /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections      # locate all the stored network profiles
ls                                             # list down the network profiles
sudo rm you_access_point_name                  # removes the specified profile
    • Restart your network manager with;
    sudo service network-manager restart
    • Try connecting to the WiFi once restarted.

    Hope it helps!
