Mint: My laptop can find wireless networks, but can't connect

[20salmon]

Hi, I recently purchased a Lenovo Ideapad s10e, and installed Linux mint.

At first, the wifi was not active, so I updated the drivers via Driver Management. This activated the network card, and gave me a list of wireless networks to connect to.

When I attempt to connect to my home wifi, it struggles to connect for a while, before giving up. The network is fine, I have several devices using it, and I am positive that the correct password is being used to connect.

Does anyone know how to resolve this problem? Can switching to a different distro solve the problem?

Thanks in adance.

Try using a different distro first to see if the problem lies with Linux mint or if it is another cause.
