    Did you say you had 19.2 or 19.2.1? If I recall, antiX base 19.2 had wifi issues.

    It looks like you didn’t install yet. Down at the bottom over towards the right of Roxterm and to the left of the speaker and yellow battery monitor is the Wifi icon. I bet you didn’t notice it or try it? If you run Ceni, then neither will work.

    If true, and you have 19.2.1, try shutting all the way down, then reboot into antiX again, and use the wifi icon at the bottom to get it going. Right click the two arrows, and left click WiFi to turn it on. Now left click the icon again and hold it down. It should pop up a list of available networks. Give it a few seconds to fill the list. Move to the one you want and then let up the left button. It should pop up the password prompt. Type it in and click apply. You should see some yellow and red vertical bars in the wifi network monitor to the right of there, and the little x next to the arrows on the icon will disappear. If you don’t get a list, sometimes you need to install to the hard drive before it will come up if the driver for your wifi didn’t get recognized immediately. That happens on one old laptop I have.

    If you didn’t have 19.2.1, I’m not sure, but the easy answer is to get it, or connect via ethernet to update and dist-upgrade if the above doesn’t work. I don’t have 19.2 base to try it anymore.
