What type of system are you trying to install it on? Some wifi adapters struggle because the driver isn't included in the kernel. This is especially true for USB-based wifi adapters, the majority of semi-modern internal adapters on major laptop brands should theoretically be included. Arch-based systems have the advantage of AUR packages which can sometimes help with situations like that, but some distros also let you upgrade to newer kernel versions than the default as well, so that could possibly be an option for addressing the problem.
Do you ever have such issues with Zorin?
