I am having a WiFi Connection problem and need help,

[Shabakthanai]

I noticed in the dropdown link from the networking Icon, that it says that the last time I used the WiFi was March 9, 2015. I did not know if that was important information, or not.

If that was the case, I do not remember it. My memory is that it has been about 6 months. Perhaps I remember inaccurately. I am sorry if I do. There are some things about getting older that can not be controlled by the ancient one. I apologize if I have been misleading you. If so, it was not intended.

This is 70-persistent-net.rules. I have been searching for information, and found a post that suggested removal of this file might fix the problem. I don't understand the implications of what is said, but thought you would. It appears to me we are very close to fixing the problem, eluded by a bit of information. It was posted Dec. 13, 2014:

If you can't repair your wlan interface, wifi network, you must do this:

First activate your wifi by shortkey of your computer (for example Fn+F2).

Then:

rfkill unblock all
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
sudo rm /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
sudo reboot

I just got connected. I went to the Router Manufacturer. During the help process, I found that my password is 63 characters. When I tried to connedt and a password was requested, copy/paste failed. Apparently 62 chagacters was the maximum my system could accept, so the 63 character password failed every time. We changed to a slightly smaller password and when entered the connection worked. Thanks to everyone who tried to help. I understand this is an unusual problem that was new to the technician. I hope this statement will help anyone who has the same problem. It was probably created in a version update, or something like that.

A 62-63 character password, you like your security in numbers!

I would have expected a limit of say 64 or 256
