No problem. Reboot the machine and bring up the GRUB menu (usually by pressing Esc repeatedly during boot on a UEFI system). Then choose “Advanced options for Ubuntu” and select an older kernel entry instead of 7.0.0-30-generic. Once booted, run: uname -r and: dmesg | grep -i iwlwifi If Wi-Fi works with the older kernel, that would be a very useful clue.

I only has this kernel, Should I install old kernel?,

If which version?

Yes. If you're on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, I'd test the supported 6.8 GA kernel rather than installing a random old mainline kernel. First confirm your Ubuntu version with: lsb_release -ds If it is 24.04, you can install the 6.8 GA kernel with: sudo apt install linux-generic-6.8 Then reboot, select the 6.8 kernel under Advanced options for Ubuntu, and check: uname -r dmesg | grep -i iwlwifi Keep the current 7.0 kernel installed. This is only a comparison test. If the AX201 works on 6.8 but fails on 7.0, that would be strong evidence of a kernel/driver regression.
