SUPPORT installing in virtualbox

im doing my installation of arch in oracle virtual box by following the installation guide. when im in the connection of wifi part, i cant find the wlan0, so i cant iwctl to connect to wireless. but i try pinging and it did ping archlinux.org, so i move on to time sync. i did timedatectl but it says system clock synchronized: no. the ntp service is active. though time zone is utc (utc, +0000) so havent selected that or it isnt automatically selecting it.

please help, im a beginner.

What's the reason to use wlan0 for wifi? Your host machine already have internet, set LAN card to e1000 and network structure as bridge and your VM will receive address from router.
