My first thoughts are
Have you installed it to your machine as
1]direct to harddrive [multiboot] in which case I would suspect wrong wi-fi drivers... or
2] in a VM/VB in which case you will not have direct access to the wi-fi, only via a bridge to the main OS

 

[Brickwizard]

If you are right about wifi drivers, how do I fix them?

first we need to find which chipset is in the wi-fi,
first install inxi Im not up on Nobara but I think it's fedora, in which case [you will need an alternative methos of internet connection]

sudo dnf install -y epel-release

sudo dnf install -y inxi

then run inxi -Nn copy and past the report back

 

[Brickwizard]

Network: Device-1: Qualcomm Atheros AR9462 Wireless Network Adapter driver: ath9k IF: wlp8s0 state: up

thats fine

What is the output of...

nmcli dev wifi list
and
ip add

You don't want the epel stuff for Fedora/Nobara, just install the rpmfusion packages.

Configuration - RPM Fusion

dnf install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

nmcli dev wifi list shows a list of networks around me. There are 14 but all of them including mine are listed there twice.

That's OK. They will usually have different bssid's, and they will always be on different channels.

First one was orange, second was purple in the command prompt.
bssid of both is nearly identical but the first one ends in :AD, second ends with :AA

Obviously higher bars mean you'll have better connection.
I see that channel 36 has twice the signal strength as channel 6.
I do see you are getting an IP address on your wlp8s0 connection.

To connect to a specific BSSID, use the following command:

sudo nmcli dev wifi connect network-ssid bssid BSSID

Replace network-ssid with the actual SSID and BSSID with the desired BSSID.

Use the following command to connect to a specific channel:

sudo nmcli dev wifi connect network-ssid channel CHANNEL

Replace network-ssid with the SSID and CHANNEL with the desired channel number.
