WiFi Adapter Broke? After Using airmon-ng. Error "No Internet Access Secured"

XLanser · Dec 5, 2016

So i recently was playing around in Kali Linux with airmon-ng, and as usual i put my USB WiFi
adapter (TP-LINK TL-WN722N) on monitor mode. Well and when i finished i forgot to turn-off monitor mode.And when i booted back to Windows 10 i couldn't connect to my WiFi having the "Secured no Internet" error.Also when running the troubleshooter it says that the adapter has an invalid IP configuration. Any thoughts on how to fix that?
Thanks!

I will assume you have booted back to kali and see if it works at all there ?

Most USB adapters are pretty stupid and do not actually store anything on the adapter they are dependent on drivers from the host system. When the device starts up it in effect loads a boot image from the driver on the host. It is almost like when you boot your pc between linux and windows.

Hard to say what exactly the wireless chips do they vendors are very secretive. But if you look though the source code for router images like dd-wrt you will see they load a binary file provided by the chipset manufacture when the wireless chip is activated. After this the wireless chip will accept commands from the OS.

I would first remove the adapter no make sure it has no power. After that I would see if it will activate again under linux. I suppose you might have some how damaged it but monitor mode just tells it to give you everything it sees. It actually receives all the stuff all the time it just ignores it when you do not have it in monitor mode.

Nope. Still even Kali I can't connect.I also reinstalled the drivers and still nothing changed
