Hi there

I am using Linux Mint 17.2 and think I am going to stick with Mint for a while. I have everything I need but just cannot get the wifi up and running.
I just bought a j5create usb wifi adapter and went through so many forums  to get the things up ( I am using a USFF desktop) and Aztech router from Telkom.
I have added a wifi connection from the network manager. Created the SSID. WPA and password saved. iwconfig shows that its using wlan0.
Problem is, it wont allow any android device to receive data, although it connects.
I know Linux uses ad hoc and infrastructure modes. I tweaked the file in "etc" to mode=AP instead of infrastructure. Still nothing  :sd:

I am fairly new to Linux and clearly my network knowledge needs to be upped.

Is there anyone out there to share knowledge? Its more for the  :angrywife:

Thanks in advance
