That wifi driver and card is key as some of the older wifi cards have issues seeing wireless AX.
Go to your device manager on the computer. It should list what your wireless card is. From there you can look up your driver.
Then go to the device manufacturer for the wirelss card (not sony) and download and install the latest driver.
