Hi,
A good start might be

Ok with some more info there, it does appear your wireless device is not recognized at all
(only the ethernet is listed):

Can you be sure it is not unplugged?
And/or can you provide any off-hand information about the device? is it internal or external? Do you happen to know the model? etc.

<BrosTrend 24G2 external. Sorry. I am having difficulty understanding the syntax for posting.>

And just to be clear … this was working previously?

As to the device - that looks like it has a USB connection of the device into the stand and then a USB running from the stand to the PC. Please try ‘re-seating’ (unplug and plug again) to ensure it is properly connected, also try switching the port it is using on the PC. And of course … do try turning it off and on again :wink:

After that bit of touching if its still missing then we might try looking a bit harder to look for it, such as lsusb, and/or give other kernels a shot. Maybe 5.15.

PS
For posting code you may use the button at the top of the text window </> … or use 3 backtics like so:

Yes it was working perfectly until I did the post install upgrade. I will replug and turn system off and on again.

cscs
,No difference What should I query in the terminal?

You may check with

lsusb

Which should list all USB devices.

Of course, on the off chance there is an issue with the device itself, it may be prudent to check if it works on any other system (if one is available).

``` It worked fine on Mint 21.2. Doesn't connect on either of my laptops
and worked just after I upgraded the new install last night, but then wasn't available this morning when I turned the machine on.

Why would it work until the new install was upgraded?

type or pasudo modprobe -r RTL88x2bu [AC1200 Techkey]
