L.S.,

I'm trying to fix things with Boot-repair(bootable disk) but it needs internet to work properly.
The thing is, my wifi antenna auto-enables when i boot windows and linux, but this is not the case when i boot into Boot-repair. And i can't enable it with it's hotkey, (fn+) f12.
It just stays disabled, and i can't find any or option button to enable it in Boot-repair.
Maybe there is a command to enable it?
Can someone help me?
Or is it perfectly reasonable to use Boot-repair without internet connection?
That would seem strange to me as Boot-reapir itself strictly says it needs it.
Anyway, thanks for the help.

Boot-repair uses the internet connection to post the results of the fix so if it didn't work you could simply post the link and other helpful people can look at it to give you a hand. Not required just handy.

Okay, then it's a little bit exaggerated they say "your OS won't be able to boot if you continue without internet".
I thought it needed some internet to download required files for bootloader fix. I installed it now on my linux live usb and ran it, but it gave an error and the link to troubleshoot it. The link however gave a 404 error though i was connected to the internet during the boot-repair. But i plan to wipe linux and install it again the way i said in my post that you reacted on too.
