Have you been able to access WiFi before on this installation of Ubuntu? If so, that could mean you've made some sort of change that broke your internet access.

Please don't use link shorteners; instead paste the full, original link. And to get the image to display properly in your reply, you can do something like this: [img] https://i.ibb.co/R9GGDRg/printscreen.jpg[/img] (remove the space between ] and h).

Since you're using Ubuntu, everything should be working out of the box. Ubuntu only requires you to enter your network password when trying to connect to WiFi. So this looks like an issue with Virtual Box.

Open Virtual Box, go to your Ubuntu install settings, then go to Network > Adapter 1, make sure the setting 'Attached to:' is set to NAT. Finally, open up Ubuntu and see if you're able to connect to WiFi.

If that fails, would a Bridged connection work?

It's definitely possible. I would say in this scenario it would be a good idea to check all of the VM network settings over before going into something more complex in Ubuntu

Sometimes, reconfiguring (from scratch) the very same settings fixes the Issue(s) at hand.

I've done It a handful of times on my VMs and for one reason or another, the problem was solved.
