Hey everyone! I'm really struggling with my WiFi on several Linux distros, including CachyOS, ZorinOS, Arch, and Garuda. My internet connection shows as 'connected' but nothing actually works when I try to use it. There's an indicator on the WiFi icon that suggests there's a problem. I've even tried connecting with an Ethernet cable, a TP-Link dongle, and a Cudy extender, but the issue persists.
I'm new to Linux and feeling a bit overwhelmed, but something feels off here. My laptop is an Asus TUF F15 fx506hc with an Intel Tiger Lake CNVi WiFi chip. It works perfectly on Windows, so I don't understand what's going wrong with Linux. I found compatible drivers for my external adapters, and while they work for WiFi, I still can't access the internet.
One thing to note is that my router logs show a "SYN Flood attack, Possible on port 53 TCPv6." Could this be a router issue? I'm genuinely at my wit's end and would appreciate any help!

Yeah, it might be worth considering a new router! If you think it could be your ISP messing with the connection, you could reach out to them for clarification or even check out alternative options. Sometimes these things just need some detective work to find that hidden clue!
It could definitely be a router issue. Sometimes switching to a better router or updating the firmware can fix all sorts of problems. If you're thinking about buying a new one, it might be worth it! But if you feel adventurous, maybe you could check with your ISP for a clearer IP assignment and see if that helps things.
