Realtek chips are not GNU/Linux friendly. Can you provide us with more details?

Try following this guide and post back details please:

Try the solution posted here as Zorin 15 is based on Ubuntu 18.04:

If you can use terminal to identify your wifi module, then you can put this info into your request in synaptic...
( you may need to reload after the first search, and do a second search.)
Then install from synaptic.
This has worked for me, Every-time I have tried it. Occasionally I get a few choices and I have tried the wrong one, but eventually it has worked every time for me.

For a temporary fix I have often just used a wifi/usb stick that is Linux compatible.
Most of us prefer the more permanent fix of the internal wifi module, but sometimes you need wifi, to fix your wifi !

It dosen't work now it's worst, the ethernal dosen't work anymore. Now i buy an USB Wirless Adaptor (let's presum that the wirlees adaptor don't work) an Tenda Model: U3. While i installed the driver like say in ( https://www.tendacn.com/en/faq/3084.html ) i have the kernel error (4.15.0-65-generic)

Authentication requested [root] for make driver:
install.sh: 48: [: unexpected operator
make ARCH=x86_64 CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/4.15.0-65-generic/build M=/home/snow/Desktop/RTL8192EU_linux_v4.4.1.1_18873_BTCOEX20160412-0042.20160805/driver/rtl8192EU_linux_v4.4.1.1_18873.20160805_BTCOEX20160412-0042 modules
make[1]: *** /lib/modules/4.15.0-65-generic/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
Makefile:1686: recipe for target 'modules' failed
make: *** [modules] Error 2


Now i need a solution for the offline laptop because when i try to reinstall the kernel via Zorin the ethernal cable dosen't work anymore. Please help my to fix it

Try this solution for ethernet:

Please remember that your hardware was never intended to run GNU/Linux: the responsibility lies with hardware manufacturers. Some months ago I purchased a realtek WiFi dongle that stated it was compatible with Linux. When I read the online documentation it would only work with a Kernel more than five years old. That's the same as selling hardware that would only run on Windows XP!

Thank you for the time and help. I try the solution but dosen't work. The final solution was to reinstall Zorin and now wifi usb adaptor run soo smooth, and i didn't need to install the driver just plug in the usb.
And yes the integrate wirless adaptor from realtek it's very bad, I have a much better pc how run Win 10 and i have the same problem because of Realtek adaptor, it's sad that they sell this things.

You guy's are greate, keep working on this amazing linux OS.

Have a wonderful day!
