Wifi won't connect to network, Ethernet works

Asked by Jessica Mondello

My wfii will not work on my computer a Dell Inspiron 13Z 5323. I am not super advanced at computers and am super new to Ubuntu, but I'm very good at figuring things out and following directions. I've been troubleshooting for 2 days and nothing will work. I recently switched from Windows 8.1 to Ubuntu 18.04.1. I used a bootable USB drive then installed Ubuntu to my hard drive.

Prior to switching to Ubuntu, I though my hard drive was broken. I reformatted my hard drive, reinstalled it, and factory reset the computer. Presto, everything worked (including the internet), until it didn't. I don't know what happened, but I cracked open the laptop and the wifi woudn't work. All of my networks show up, other devices connect to my wifi, and an ethernet cable works. I factory reset the computer again, but no luck. I decided to move forward with installing Ubuntu anyways in hopes that would magically fix my problem. It didn't. Internet still doesn't work. HELPPPPP. See my full Terminal output below.

CPU Make and Model: Dell Inspiron 13Z 5323
Wireless Access Point: wlp1s0
Wifi Card: Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230
