Hello sg0106,

you have the problem, that your wifi card isn't shown in your terminal output. Do you really have the same card in your laptop as in the linked thread? I found here the data of your laptop model with another Realtek card:

So it could be, that you have that card: RTL8821AE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter

Can you show the terminal output of:

Check UEFI/BIOS settings and see if WLAN is enabled
