I recently took the toe dip of installing Lubuntu (22.04.2 LTS Jammy Jellyfish) on my old laptop.

I'm generally happy with how everything runs almost immeasurably better on it than with windows 10, but I have one significant issue: I can't for the life of me figure out how to make wireless internet work in it.

I can get online just fine plugging in my ethernet cable or doing USB tethering from my phone, but my phone doesn't have unlimited data and I sometimes leave my apartment, so it's not exactly ideal..

Anyone able to help or point me to someone/something that can?

It's able to log onto my wifi but acts like it doesn't have access to the Internet through it. It's an ancient HP Envy..
