welcome to the forums
PLEASE do not make multiple post.
we need to know what wi-fi you have installed,
From the terminal run inxi -Nnz and copy/paste back the result

Picture is good
You are showing a Broadcom PCI bridge, have you installed your Mint in a VM [virtual machine] or using WSL [Windows subsystem for Linux] ?
The reason I ask is that a bridge connection would suggest a VM, in which case you will not be able to connect the VM directly to the Wi-Fi as it will be controlled by the windows/Mac operating system.

I have never come across this Chromeflex, so am little help with how its installed,,
the normal way I would update/upgrade a Debian based distro is, from the terminal run..
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
when complete
sudo autoremove
