How do I get WiFi to work on Linux Mint 18.3? [closed]
I've been having issues with WiFi connectivity for a while, but lately it's gotten so bad that I must use a cable if I want stable internet. When I click on the network button on the toolbar (or go into network settings) there isn't even an option to connect to WiFi.
Typing lspci | grep Network into command line shows nothing. If I open Driver Manager, the WiFi card drivers are not displayed.
Sometimes if I'm lucky, I can restart my laptop and the WiFi options will magically reappear, but internet still doesn't work. I know I have a
Broadcom BCM43142
and I'm running
Linux Mint 18.3.

Yes. I had no issues when I was running Windows. I started running into issues when I installed Linux, but it has recently been getting much worse.
