Tp-link Mini Wireless N USB Adapter doesn't connect to the network

Hi, I bought a tp-link Mini Wireless N USB Adapter, I connect it to my PC, the PC recognizes it but when I enter the password it doesn’t connect to the WI-Fi network, of course I have already tried the password many times to be sure that it is correct, I haven’t found any solution on the internet about it, any help will be greatly appreciated, thank you very much.
I would like to provide any kind of log but I don’t know how to find it in this case.
UPDATE 1:
Using nmtui says that can’t find the network after I enter the password but I chose the network with the interface that told me it was available.
UPDATE 2:
ouput using nmcli:

Error: Connection Activation Failed: (53) WiFi network not found.

UPDATE 3:

inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --width

UPDATE 4:
I tried the stick with the live ISO and I have same result and I tried with a Lubuntu live ISO I have around and again same result but in Lubuntu says it connect and disconnect quickly after

Can you provide the log? Does it say wrong password?

nothing really, just a pop up message saying failed to activate the network connection and that’s it, span the pop up over and over slowly, it’s really rare for me.
How can I provide a Log in this case?
UPDATE:
Using nmtui says that can’t find the network after I enter the password but I chose the network with the interface that told me it was available.

I hope the new info I got can help :pensive:

Did you follow this ?
