Okay, its been resolved but still weird:
After taking off SECURITY on my wifi, I could SUCCESSFULLY Connect my son's linux 17 machine but did not want to leave my network unsecured so I created a GUEST network and left it open while re-securing my wifi network.
But the strange thing is that my neighbors wifif was ALSO SECURED and I was able to connect to it from my son's linux machine ( I knew the wifi password)!!!
but I am okay with this setup. thx
