Ubuntu 20.04 - Wifi not working

I'm new on Ubuntu, I'm trying it for my very first time and also facing some issues on it.

I noticed that my WiFi adapter is not working properly on Ubuntu. Simply, it doesn't show any WiFi network.

What is really crazy is that, if I 'try' Ubuntu from the installation drive, WiFi works excellent.

The device is Tp Link tl-wn781nd and looks like it has a realtek chipset under name RTL8188EE Wireless Network Adapter (information from command sudo lshw -class network)

I'm adding some information for your understanding:

iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
enp7s0 no wireless extensions.

Any clue on what could be the route cause of this issue.

Thanks!
