My internal Wifi failed to see my Router soon after I started with Linux so I installed a USB dongle I had
The dongle works OK for a while and then I loose my Internet but not the wifi connection . If I disconnect/connect wifi it works ok for a while . There does not appear to be a pattern to when it fails.
It is a Realtek RTL8188CUS 802.11n using WLAN Adaptor driver : rtl8192cu which is also installed in WinXP
I am hoping someone can give me a solution that I can understand preferably using GUI as other than trying to sort the problems I have had I have no need to learn CLI . I just want to do everyday tasks on my computer.
I have searched the Internet and there could be an issue with the Linux Drivers rtl 8192cu for the Realtek Adapter . Unfortunately for me the solutions mostly involve using Command Line . I have tried some but get confused when they are not recognized.
With the many flavors of Linux I am not sure if they all should work in Lite 2 . Also having only a very limited knowledge of CLI its difficult to know if the commands given require me to be in the correct command structure before they will work .
Also the outputs are in such an abbreviated form that needs converted to normal language to know what they mean !!!!
