wifi adapter not found?
Issue: Wifi driver is not installed. Mine was "rtl8821ce". Check the your "network controller" using lspci command.
then install the necessary driver, and you are good to go
P.S: sometimes sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade also solves the problem

I had the same problem using the T9E. Fortunately, it is pretty simple if you have a smartphone that supports USB WiFi tethering. The reason for this is you must be able to establish some form of Internet connection to install the packages, and this was the easiest for me. Otherwise you will have to either get an Ethernet cable long enough to reach your router or move your PC close to it. You can find the full answer here.
It comes down to opening a terminal on your machine and running lspci -nn -d 14e4:, locating the package you need in the table shown in the answer I linked to, and doing sudo apt install <PACKAGE> where <PACKAGE> is your actual needed package.
For me this looked like sudo apt install bcmwl-kernel-source. There were instructions for an offline install, but this did not work for me even though I followed the instructions. You will need access to the internet on a device that you can move files from anyway.
Hope this helps!
