Hi, I see the issue. Your Linux Mint 20 detected the TP-LINK TL-WR702N but isn't connecting to its network. Since it works on Windows, you might want to check the Wi-Fi settings or try a different network type. Also, ensure the router is powered on and connected properly. If the problem persists, consider updating your network drivers or testing with another device. Let me know if you need further help!

The symbol for the internet connections, bottom right. Have you left clicked on it? Then have you gone to Network Settings. I'd suggest doing it with the wired connection unplugged first. It should ask you for the WiFi password. There is a wee box you can tick to see what you are typing. I don't have a TP-LINK TL-WR702N here but there might be one at the Shed. I could check there on Monday if you still have a problem.
