Before installing routersploit on my zorin os, my wifi connection was connecting with home network. However when starting routersploit, suddenly the wifi I was connected to says "Activation of Network Connection Failed". After this incident I've been unable to connect to my wifi.

However, when I connect to my smartphone WiFi hotspot, the laptop gets connected without any issues.

The error happened after I installed routersploit. i believe it changed or modified some network settings which I'm unaware of. I tried: disabling IPv6 following this guide : Fix: activation of network connection failed on Linux – Its Linux FOSS as well as this guide: Fix: Activation of Network Connection Failed in Linux but none of them worked. Plz some-one help me get out of this mess.

    yes @GAD3R sir, did the changes but have sent the router to check for repairs will test connecting again once router arrives. However, one question I have is, if the problem was due to monitor mode then my mobile hotspot should not get connected also. But this is not the case I'm able to connect with my smartphone hotspot but not with the router WIFI, do you have any insight for this, I wanted to know why this is happening.

You need to exit the monitor mode:

sudo ip link set wlo1 down sudo iw wlo1 set type managed sudo ip link set wlo1 up
