What is the output of

groups

Look for network group

what do you mean and how to find it

open a terminal and use

groups

it’s a command and shows the groups you’re configured

image

is this it??

now what should i do??

yes it is

04ca:00ac seems to be a total exotic device

is it bad or good. should i need to buy a new WiFi extender with nic port or a new wifi adapter.

if you search the internet for “linux 04ca:00ac” you’ll see a lot of unsolved problems with that device. my personal choice ? take 15-20 bucks and get a new one.

ok thank you, i changed to linux recently so i am still learning.
