You give so few details that it's unlikely anyone will be able to help you.

What operating system? What kind of computer? Many other things. :roll:

Has WIFI ever worked?
Are you using built in WIFI or a WiFi adapter you plug in?
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

I'm using usb adapter, there's not built in wifi. Before tahr I had installed tiny-core and, before that, tahr again. Wifi worked, but I'm not sure it was without problems, because I usually used wired connection.

Any information you might want to share about the USB adapter?

TP-Link, TL-WN821N, 300Mbps.

There's no enough room for the adapter, so I use a usb cable to plug it to the usb port. But I suppose the problem is not the cable. I used the adapter & the cable to another laptop and there was no problem.

Assuming that you have v4 of the adapter, it is using the rtl8192cu driver. Your best choice for a driver is from here.
