  • You haven't mentioned what you used before. Also as mentioned here you could try connecting it to an USB 2.0 port instead of a 3.0 one.

  • You may want to downgrade the packages that you suspect are involved in the issue, e.g. the iw*firmware packages.

I had the exact same issue after upgrading from Linux Mint 16 to 17. Till Mint 16, internet was working fine. It stopped working after upgrading to 17.

Here's the solution I have:

gksudo pluma /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver <IP address of router>
nameserver 192.168.1.1

Save and close, Restart mint. Internet should start working now.

In my case I have a TP Link Modem / router device.

    remember that nameserver 'IP' = default gateway as the router is either configured to obtain DNS from ISP or has manual DNS entries
