AMD laptops almost always ship with mediatek wifi cards. Cuz the alternative is intel, and I guess that's not cool with AMD.

But mediatek's wifi cards are a steaming pile of bovine excrement. Bluetooth issues, wifi dropouts, drivers not being mature until a year after the release.

Save your self the pain, buy an Intel wifi card for 20$ and upgrade it right after you bought the laptop. Might as well add RAM and storage. Takes an hour of work, 20 minutes of which is watching a YT video on how to do it.
