I am using a Dell XPS 13 With Ubuntu 18 LTS. Recently, my school disabled the b frequency range on its wifi network, so now my laptop cannot connect to the wifi.



How can I make my laptop utilize the g/n wifi technologies/ranges?



I imagine an XPS 13 shold be able to connect to b, g, or n considering it is a new laptop.



Here is the output of "sudo lshw -class network"
