Could you please try:
Code:
sudo apt install build-essential git

You May get a notice that it is already installed.
Code:
git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/backport-iwlwifi.git

Code:
cd backport-iwlwifi

Code:
sudo make

Code:
sudo make install

Elevate
Code:
sudo -i

Code:
echo “options iwlwifi disable_msix=1”  >>  /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf

Drop back down from Root
Code:
exit

Restart and check if working.


EDIT: I should add:
If you update to a newer kernel, you may need to redo the above.
Easiest if you save the following in a .txt in your documents and just run the commands through terminal after updating kernel.
Code:
cd backport-iwlwifi

Code:
sudo make clean

Code:
sudo make

Code:
sudo make install
