I just opened my laptop for the first time in a few days, and it’s not connecting to wifi, even though my phone is. It’s Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon. I deleted the wifi from Network Connections, but I don’t see how to reconnect it. I’m not terribly techy so might be missing something obvious. Help?
EDIT: I also poked around online and plugged in the USB I installed Linux from, which is mentioned on one forum, but I don’t see what might need to happen from there.
