I have recently brought the brostrend ac100 WiFi dongle. So I used an Ethernet cable from my printer to try and download the drivers. It said the ethernet was connected but I couldn’t load any sites or ping anything.

Try to open a terminal in sys-net and try command like:
ping 8.8.8.8ping dns.google
if that works, try the same from a shell in personal … and if it doesn’t work, share the output …

I’m quite sure I see a “X” in the green icon on the top right, this mean sys-firewall is not connected, which is weird has there is nothing to tweak there and it’s a virtual network so the virtual ethernet cable should be plugged in.
Could you investigate there?

Should I add my ethernet to devices always connected?

So somewhere between your personal and sys-net qubes, traffic is lost - and the ethernet works in the sys-net qube.
From Qube Manager, can you check the “Net qube” settings for your personal (on the Basic tab – it’s probably sys-firewall)? … if so, can you check the “Net qube” for sys-firewall?
For each of the qubes you find this way, open a terminal and repeat the ping 8.8.8.8 to see at which step the traffic is lost.

in sys-firewall yes
you should not tweak anything in sys-firewall, it’s just there to act as a sane gateway between sys-net and the rest

So sys-firewall has “none” as Net qube? … what happens if you tell sys-firewall, that it should use sys-net as the Net qube?
I assume you have the Ethernet card in sys-net … and sys-net only …

you certainly broke something in your sys-firewall. Edit its settings and choose “sys-net” as its “net qube”, then restart sys-firewall
