  1. Look up the interface
$ sudo iw dev                            
phy#0

		wdev 0x3
		addr 98:54:1b:0a:9f:16
		type P2P-device
		txpower 0.00 dBm
	Interface wlp1s0
		ifindex 2

		ssid Bukur Bari 5G

  1. Optionally scan for your SSID if you don't remember the name
sudo iw wlan0 scan
  1. Edit /etc/network/interfaces and add your interface
sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces

auto wlp1s0
iface wlp1s0 inet dhcp
wpa-essid My Wireless
wpa-psk ****
  1. Restart the interface
ifdown wlp1s0 && sudo ifup -v wlp1s0
  1. See if you can reach google
ping www.google.com
ping: www.google.com: Temporary failure in name resolution
  1. Add google free DNS server to /etc/resolv.conf
sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 8.8.8.8
  1. Restart name resolution service
sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved.service
  1. Now your network should be up and running. Install network-manager
