my wifi device is only guaranteed to work with the kernel version 5.2+. i need to get wifi 6 AX 210 working on UBuntu 16.04, since I need ros Kinetic for my project. I've tried all the steps in this threed :Intel WiFi 6 AX200 not working on Ubuntu 16.04

and I had the same results, so my laptop was freezing ..etc. Is there any possiblity I can get my wifi device to work, such as updating the kernel and how can I do that.

Intel does not officially support AX210 wireless adapters on Linux yet, sorry. I had to find that out the hard way myself.

Linux 5.10 should bring the necessary firmware though, that should probably be available in ubuntu sometime in January.

Edit: It seems you've already managed to get it working, nice. I just wanted to add that I would recommend upgrading to a newer LTS release by April because public support is running out for this one.

I still have a problem with the AX210 on my Dell laptop with every kernel release.

Here's the solution that works for me on kernel 5.11.0-36-generic with Ubuntu 20.04.

sudo mv /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pwm /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pwm.bak

It works just fine if the extra iwlwifi driver is not loaded.
