The link with the instructions are very clear, thanks. One clarification. Every time the laptop is connected (and then there is no internet after a few minutes) is assigned the same Ip address.

Something to try, find you a Mac OSX supporting USB WiFi adapter/WPA3 supporting as well and connect to this laptop and see if this changes the behavior.

Just to add, have a 2017 iMac that works fine as well.
