Realtek RTL8822CE connects to Wi-Fi but cannot access the internet

Title.
I've moved and I I'm stuck with this laptop for some time. I wish to install FreeBSD on it, but I am running into an issue with the Wi-Fi during installation:
After booting into the installer it prompts me to connect to a Wi-Fi. My laptop scans for available networks and finds mine. I'm able to select my home network and enter the password. The installer then sits on "Acquiring DHCP lease.." menu. After that's done I'm instructed to partition my disk, which I do. However after I'm done the installer gives me an error about being unable to access the internet.
From my current understanding:
1) FreeBSD recognizes my Wi-Fi adapter and loads in the appropriate rtw88 module
2) Something errs along the way and it fails to establish a connection nonetheless
 
Quick test (from a shell): check if you can ping ip addresses (the usual suspects are 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8-.4.4), if you can ping ip addresses but not dns names (like google.com) then it's a dns problem.
One possible workaround: use usb tethering from your mobile phone until you get FreeBSD installed.

The "Acquiring DHCP lease" sounds that it takes time. It takes a few minutes at my install.
