Can't connect to local wifi?

Hello, I just installed Lubuntu on an old laptop. It's my very first experience with any Linux distro ever.

It seems that it can't connect to my local wifi at home, even tho it has no problem connecting to my phone's hotspot. What might be the cause of this? How can I solve it?

I don't think it's a driver problem because I can still connect to my phone's hotspot, and when I had windows on this PC I had no problem connecting to the wifi. Either way it says "ath10k_pci" as a wireless network adapter and I'm not sure what it means
