Did you install a full desktop on it? If so, you should have
NetworkManager in some flavor present, if not, highly suggest using that.
It's probably a bit easier to troubleshoot with nmcli and the gui itself.

If you look at logs with journalctl -f while doing so, any logs there point
to problems?

Otherwise, maybe just make sure the wlan nic is working doing some basic
kismet scans that you're seeing yourself and your neighbors ssid's pop up.
As long as you're seeing traffic, it *should* work.
