It connects to a cell phone hotspot without any problems. But to the router, it's a mess. It keeps trying to connect, but crashes and asks for the network password again. The WPS button doesn't help at all, but rather disables the router itself.

I tried everything, but I'm still stuck.

Here are a few commands whose output has been requested quite often:

sudo rfkill list all

    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
    Soft blocked: no

If anybody has encountered this before, please help me out. At the moment, I have no idea what to do

  • installed the driver for my Wi-Fi card Which one? And Why? Any currently supported release of Pop_OS shouldn't need any manually installed driver for any Qualcomm Atheros card Please edit the question to clarify and while at that please add your OS release as well.

  • On other forums, people kept saying that you need to install the correct driver because "pop os can't do it". So I tried to install the correct one. But it seems that this is no longer relevant

  • this edit isn't helpful, other than adding the OS release as requested, but removing the whole part about what you did, supposedly, is a bad practice. On other forums, people kept saying that you need to install the correct driver because "pop os can't do it" is ONLY applicable to devices that work with proprietary drivers, NOT the case here. You may have inadvertently make it worse. Now, what about the router? How old is it? What bands it supports? What encryption settings? Keep in mind ONLY WPA2-AES or newer is recommend.

  • The router is 1 year old. It supports 2.4G and 5G bands. WPA-WPA2 encryption

  • Mixed WPA-WPA2 could be the problem. Again, change it to WPA2-AES or newer WPA3 if available. That should all.
