Home internet not working with ubuntu

I've wanted to use Linux for a while but whenever I install it the internet doesn't work with my home wifi, it does work with my phone hotspot. I've tried changing some settings in my router and messing with the resolv.conf file (changing the nameserver). In the past I've installed ubuntu on my desktop and had the same issue, I was able to resolve it (I don't remember how to anymore) but after a little bit, it didn't work again. But today I made a ubuntu virtual machine and it connected to the internet just fine, so I tried to install it on my laptop but I'm having this issue.

Doing lsb_release -a gives:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
Release:    20.04
Codename:   focal

Also whenever I ping google I get:

Ping: www.google.com: Temporary failure in name resolution.

Because of this problem, ive never really been able to use ubuntu or any linux distro

Edit doing ping -c3 8.8.8.8 returns:

Ping: connect: network is unreachable

And doing ls -al /etc/resolv.conf returns:

Lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Aug 19 2021 /etc/resolv.conf ->
../run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf

I should also note that I'm using the installer while doing this

doing iwconfig gives

I'm not sure about the wifi adapter, but I'm using a dell Inspirion 7405 2 in 1

My home wifi name is "Hidden network". I tried changing it but I had the same problem

For me it brings me to a page that says: Why has my post been blocked due to "spam and abuse from my network"?

It brings me there if I try to join any room

I suggest that you ask the question here. https://meta.askubuntu.com/questions I haven't experienced that before.

I submitted a ticket already; its alright, the other problem that I mentioned is making it so my computer wont even turn on, so it might take me a little time to do anything with this problem.

Until the chat issue is resolved, I suggest that, as you are able, you address the points I listed.

Yes, I did it this morning, i put the results in a document. But because of my other problem, my computer will not turn back on

@Idklmao your IP is on a blocklist likely due to abuse - not necessarily your abuse but others' abuse. As you are a new user and haven't hit the rep level to be considered a 'trusted user' you are subject to rate limits and blocks. Right now, the IP address you were most recently on is on the spam block list, and there's nothing we can do. (This said, a lot of verizon wireless IPs are actually on this list and if you are using your phone all the time you're very likely to get an IP here or there that has been used for spamming in the past)

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
