VirtualBox internet connectivity through WiFi

I have a laptop that gets connected to the internet through WiFi. but many WiFi’s and depends where I am (home,office, customer,etc...)
my laptop is windows 10 Pro.
I have a virtual box installed and I have installed on it Ubuntu.
unfortunately I am not being able to make my Ubuntu VM connect to the internet.
can someone help me on how to achieve this ?
the weird thing is that I also have another VM that is windows 2012 server and this VM has internet without me doing any configuration change !
thank you

You need to ensure that the Network Interface that Virtualbox is bridged to is the WiFi Network interface in the host (e.g. your laptop).

Currently it's using the fixed network interface.
If you are using bridge network then, is there a limit of ip address  or any nat rules on wifi network you are connecting to?
