I have an HP 14 laptop that just wouldn't recognize the wifi driver. I did some research and found that it's a common problem. There are some complicated solutions but they're above my tolerance level. I bought a (US$13) USB wifi antenna and I use that.

Lol, it is also a solution  Maybe you should contact me on discord. I could guide you with your troubles and save your 13 bucks S |

As rrashkin said it's a common problem with old laptops.
I recently bought a BrosTrend Linux USB WiFi Adapter (AC1200, model AC1L) and it works fine with Ubuntu.
