@babadoctorHi  there. Sometimes ubuntu forgets to ask the router to be assigned an ip. To resolve this first make sure that you have root (sudo) level permissions. Then follow this guide:

Hope this helps

Is there something I need to reconfigure? Why won't it connect?

OFF TOPIC: I suggest every poll from now on to have "**CK EA" option instead of "Other"
