I just did a fresh 18.04 install. Now my wifi isn't recognized for some reason, but I'm using wifi right now. I'm not sure what this means here's a screenshot of it.
I tried some possible solutions here, but they didn't work for me. I also have windows 10 installed on the same laptop, but on another drive entirely. Also, worth mentioning is that I had Ubuntu 18.04 installed previous on the same laptop and I didn't have this problem before. Only after I tried doing a fresh install for the 3rd time (don't ask, I'm still learning) than I run into this issue.
I don't know if this is important, but after the install my system time was off by like 5hrs after I set the right time zones and everything. I had to go into bios and change the time and disable the automatic date & time settings for Ubuntu. Otherwise I wasn't even able to run Ubuntu updates because the time didn't match with the ubuntu servers. Anyway...
Here are some system specs:

According to the solution here it's ok to leave it as is, but I'm not entirely sure because as I mentioned before I had ubuntu working fine before and only after a fresh install I ran into this problem. I would appreciate any help with this. I'm at a loss here, thank you.
