I have a new laptop (MSI GE66 raider) and recently installed ubuntu (dual boot with windows 10).


I noticed that my wifi download speed was slower on ubuntu than on windows 10. I tried reinstalling the adapter and so I followed the instructions on this answer: No WiFi Adapter Found with fresh Ubuntu 20.04 install on MSI GE66 Laptop, and other strange behavior


When I rebooted, my wifi settings disappeared and now I have no access to wifi.

I managed to solve this problem by executing the inverse of the instructions that I had followed step by step from the link (No WiFi Adapter Found with fresh Ubuntu 20.04 install on MSI GE66 Laptop, and other strange behavior):



  • deleted all the files I added

  • sudo make uninstall where I had previously used sudo make install

  • etc.


And finally I reinstalled all the libraries that were related to this changes just to make sure I cleaned up everything.


When I rebooted my computer, everything was ok again.
