Hi philipfernandes,
I would suggest you to update the BIOS and wireless card driver in sequence on the system for issue resolution. Please enter your service tag # on the link below,, click on ‘Get drivers and downloads’, select the OS, then download the BIOS from BIOS section and wireless card driver from Network section onto the system and install it.

Please let me know if this helps.

Please follow the steps mentioned below to uninstall the wireless card.
After the uninstall finishes restart the system and install the drivers by using the file downloaded on the desktop screen.
Also, reply us with the snapshot of the device manager.
