No automatic connection to my wi-fi network

I have two issues that are probably related. The first issue is that the wi-fi network does not connect automatically when starting the Ubuntu-Mate. The second issue is that the time and date are desynchronized with the Internet time and date. To be synchronized, I will need a connection to the net.

My question is, how to automatically connect to the web with my wi-fi network?

Thanks.

What version of Ubuntu Mate are we speaking about?

Thank you Steven. I have the latest version of Ubuntu but I found the solution to the problem. Now, my Wi-Fi works well (without the Ethernet connection). The date and time are now synchronized with the Internet.

Please let us know how your resolved this issue for the benefit of others who may experience the same problem?
