Why do the SDL SD cards disallow access to the web on ethernet and have WLAN0 stopped? I have tried 3 of your SD cards and they all are the same. Using my own card that I created doesn't have the issue. I can VNC into the raspberry pi without any issues, but I cannot access anything on the internet until after I deleted the dnsmasq software.
I tried to set up WIFI in raspi-config and get the response 'Could not communicate with wpa_supplicant'. Trying to configure the WLAN country gives me the same response. I'm new to raspberry pi and it's operating system, so I'm not quite sure where to go from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I went the the process mentioned in the link above and was still not able to connect to WIFI. I did notice an extra line in the wpa_supplicant.conf file at the bottom. This line was 'wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK'. I commented out this line, saved the file and rebooted. I now am able to connect through WIFI. What does this line do or suppose to do?
Thank you.

WPA-PSK - Wifi Protected Access - PreShared Key
This is the encryption method used to authenticate your WiFi connection to your Router.
It has to match what your router is expecting for encryption. Syntax is important.
Here is an example of the wpa_supplicant.conf file. This from my PI4 with the ssid & psk changed.
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=US
network={
ssid="MySSID"
psk="MyKey"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK }

What that line does depends on your router, as you might expect. Doxidad is right.

I'm not using WIFI from my router. I have a Home Eero installed in the house since my router WIFI wouldn't reach all of the areas in the house (guess you would call it a mesh network). It works now.
Thank you,
