Wifi adapter not listed

I am running f37 on Asus TUF A15, and I have had a wifi issue quite for a long time. Then, I was suggested to change its wifi card because Realtek’s wifi card on my laptop is ‘notorious’ for such issues. I could see the wifi adapter listed among the other devices, but at times wifi icon would disappear and say no adapter found. And now, since I changed its wifi card to ‘INTEL WIFI 6 AX201’, I do not even see it listed as a wifi adapter. Do I have to install drivers for it to be detected, and if yes could you help or instruct me on how to do so?! Or do I have to install f37 brand-new? I downloaded drivers for the Intel wifi card, but I don’t know what to do or how to make them work.
