Virtualbox on Ubuntu 17.10 or 16.04 can't connect to wifi

I am using a Windows 7 computer. I tried Ubuntu 16.04 and 17.10 on VirtualBox, and neither can connect to the internet, even though Windows 7 connects just fine.
I've already tried NAT. In Windows, I've already tried enabling and disabling VirtualBox Host-Only Network, but that's not helping.
For Ubuntu 17, under Wifi it says No Wifi Adapter Found
My router that I use to connect to the Wifi for my Windows 10 computer is a VPN router, if that matters

Unless your system is capable of supporting PCI Passthrough, see virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#pcipassthrough , you won't be able to use the host Wifi adapter and it will have to be in NAT or Bridged for it to work.

You might need to install the VirtualBox Extensions pack into your VM so that it sees network and stuff. virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Forget Wifi, it is probably not going to work at all if your system doesn't support what I put in the first comment. Is the system getting IP addresses at all in it? If you open a terminal and type inifconfig -aorip route | grep dhcpwhat does it return?

ifconfig -a or ip route | grep dhcp what does it return?– Terrance
