Asus PCE-N15 connected to router but no internet access

[obedlink]

my wireless card asus pce-n15 connects to my router but I have no internet access. everything seems normal when making the connection.
the strange thing is that I have no access to the router, when I do ping the router does not respond, I can not access the router settings. but the wireless card does get an ip address.


I tried this solution, but without satisfactory results.

sudo rmmod iwlwifi
sudo modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=1

anyway, my router is not N, so I think that does not work
post data: the asus pce-n15 has native support for linux.

Could be your routing or resolv.conf.

Open a terminal and enter the command route you should see your router's hostname or IP address in the route list.

I'm not at my linux machine at the moment, but I believe /etc/resolv.conf should have your router listed as nameserver and gateway.

This is the content of resolve.conf

So your nameserver is pointed at your localhost.

Go to /etc/resolv.d (I think - doing this from memory!) and look for "tail". Add "nameserver 192.168.1.1" or whatever IP your router is to it and restart networking or reboot. Check results after.

Do you have internet access yet? I'm not sure if the 127.0.1.1 entry will cause problems or not. I always remove networkmanager on my desktop and configure by hand because I use a non-standard configuration.

no, I dont have internet
I will try use the lastest image of kubuntu 14.04

screenshot for more information



as you can see, I can connect to router, router client list displays the MAC address of Wireless card is authorized and associate. all good.
the wi-fi card got the address 192.168.1.9, the only strange thing is the transfer rate 1MBit / s.

Now with the picture, maybe you can help

I find it strange that the wireless card get an ip but can not access the router

compiling the drivers downloaded from asus.com, I get these errors, I have installed build-essential.

So your nameserver is pointed at your localhost.

This has been normal ever since 12.04 (blueprint, explanation).

do you want that I do this?

# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
#     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver 127.0.1.1
nameserver 192.168.1.1

No, don't do that. /etc/resolv.conf is a symbolic link to /run/resolvconf/resolv.con, which is created when the system boots and is updated as new connections appear. It gracefully handles DNS servers when connecting to VPNs.

Name resolution is handled by dnsmasq, a caching-only name resolver installed on the system. That's why resolv.conf now points to localhost's IP.

[SteveRiley]

I tried this solution, but without satisfactory results.

sudo rmmod iwlwifi
sudo modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=1

That won't have any effect because iwlwifi is the driver module for Intel wi-fi cards.

compiling the drivers downloaded from asus.com

You shouldn't have to build drivers. According to what I've read, the Asus PCE-N15 is supported by the driver module rtl8192ce. Furthermore, it is not uncommon that cards using this driver operate unreliably in Linux. Disabling the hardware encryption can help solve a number of weird problems. Create the file /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8192ce.conf and include the following line:

options rtl8192ce swenc=1

I have create the file, I rebooted the PC and the problem continues
How do I disable hardware encryption?

Let's make sure that is, in fact, the driver chosen by the kernel. Please show the output of:

sudo lshw -C net

firmware=N/A?? is correct this information?

[oshunluvr]

Since network manager doesn't work for me, I add my router IP to /etc/resolv.d/tail as nameserver and this works for me just fine. I can;t recall ot the moment if I removed localhost or not, but it hasn't effected my ability to connect so I guess I'm OK at the moment.

[SteveRiley]

OK, so we are using rtl8192ce. Please change /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8192ce to this:

options rtl8192ce swenc=1 ips=0 swlps=0 fwlps=0

firmware=N/A?? is correct this information?

Hm...what's the output of

apt-cache policy linux-firmware

ls -al /lib/firmware/rtlwifi
