ZERO Internet Connectivity Ubuntu 20.04

tr flag

I have been using Ubuntu for over 10 years and have never seen anything like this... I have zero connectivity via wifi, ethernet, usb tether, wifi tether, direct cable to my modem, nothing...

NOTE: The Internet icons show my machine connect to wifi and ethernet, but I am not getting any transfer.

Then, I go to my trusty "Timeshift" to undo my changes that caused the problem and Timeshift does not fix the problem.

Confused.

How I made this problem: My wifi was slow so I tried two possible solutions that I found on the Its FOSS website:

https://itsfoss.com/speed-up-slow-wifi-connection-ubuntu/
(Specifically solution 2 and solution 3)

Attempted Solution 2

sudo rmmod iwlwifi
sudo modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=1

Attempted Solution 3:

sudo gedit /etc/nsswitch.conf

This will open the configuration file in gedit so that you could edit it easily in GUI. You can also use nano instead of gedit if you want to use the terminal. In here, look for the following line:

hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4

If you find this file, replace it with the following line:

hosts: files dns

Attempted 3, 2nd above was easy to revert...however, I think the sudo rmmod iwlwifi is at the core of my troubles... itsfoss mention that disabling 802.11n also disable can anyone tell me how to fix this, while having ZERO ability to connect to the web at all?

the output of lshw -C network is:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
