I'm using a TP-Link Archer T9UH usb WiFi adapter, but I need to know how to get the computer to detect WiFi in the first place so I'm not sure that information is of any importance yet.
I've done hours of troubleshooting and googling to the point where I'm convinced there's not even a solution. The only resolved post I found about this issue was solved because the guy's wife tripped over a cable. Not me. I have a flash drive at my disposal to download anything from my Windows partition onto (drivers?), and that's it.
Here's the lsusb result:

I see it's at least recognizing the TP-Link adapter I'm trying to use. My phone can't double as a hotspot so tethering isn't an option.
Edit: Not sure why the website marked this question as closed. The whole point of asking it is that I did NOT have access to a temporary connection. Closed but not resolved!
lsusbCan you tether your phone? Welcome to Ask Ubuntu. – chili555 Sep 24 '22 at 23:43
