Good thing it a an ax200 with that ryzen, an ax201 or ax210 would never have worked.
If you could download somewhere the firmwares, for example: git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
Then cd into the new folder called 'linux-firmware/'
You should be able to copy all the required files to the /lib/firmware/ directory
Use the sudo cp command with maybe -nRv or -Ruv, not sure what your distro has for option to not clobber.
After that is done, guess next step you will have to reload the iwlwifi module. sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi
sudo modprobe iwlwifi
If you could show us the output of sudo dmesg | grep iwlwifi
shouldnt need to reboot. if he is using kde he may need to service NetworkManager restart though never had good results with restart so I will do a stop and start back up.
intel support leaves something to be desired they closed my post on intels site. didnt get to doing trace processes.
after you modprobe iwlwifi you will want to check dmesg for errors. I think my problem is I dont have virtualization enabled in bios. looking up uefi mods
turns out was a key combo to activate my advanced bios. no uefi hack or bios modding.

Swapping out the intel wnic for something better like an wifi6E qualcomm/atheros immediately voids support, but I'd do it for a usually better supported wnic.
And I'm looking forward to 6GHz + 802.11az to play with but openwrt supported routers aren't there yet.
Still think after copying the files to /lib/firmware/ he should compile a new kernel plus compile/install modules required, and boot into the new kernel.
