I'm trying to figure out how to get my Linux setup in VirtualBox to connect to the internet. It detects the Wi-Fi network, but it won't actually connect. I'm running this on Windows 11. Any tutorials or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Actually, you don’t need a direct Wi-Fi connection to access the internet in VirtualBox. It should work through the VM settings. Just configure it right, and you should be good to go!
You'll want to check your VirtualBox network settings. Make sure your VM's network adapter is set to NAT or Bridged Adapter; those usually work well for internet access. The VirtualBox manual has solid info on this. You can find the networking section here: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/topics/networkingdetails.html#networkingdetails.
If it's still not working after checking the settings, ensure that your Windows firewall isn’t blocking the VirtualBox network connections. Sometimes that can mess things up!
