If you can bear to reinstall: you might try reinstalling with the unofficial https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/11.6.0+nonfree/amd64/iso-cd/firmware-11.6.0-amd64-netinst.iso which should contain the needed WiFi firmware in it. Follow the install throug, make sure to say that you will use non-free packages and you should be fine thereafter. There should never be a need to go to Intel's website. If the laptop is very new indeed, then you might need to use testing - but stable should work for you. With every good wish, as ever, Andy Cater
