WiFi interface disconnected Lenovo X1 Extreme Gen 4 Ubuntu 22.04

Question

I have a brand new Lenovo X1 Extreme Gen4, with Ubuntu preloaded (it was 20.04 I think). Wifi not working and not sure what to do. So I decided to upgrade to Ubuntu 22.04 in any case. But still the WiFi was not working at all. So I dig a bit online (see posts below). The hardware seems to be recognized properly but the interface is permanently disconnected.

I look for similar posts in the internet:

• No WiFi Adaptor found in Lenovo X1 Carbon Generation 7
• Ubuntu 20.04 LTS driver Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX210 160MHz
• Intel Wifi 6 AX210 - WiFi not working after Update
• Got My First Thinkpad - X1 Extreme Gen 4!! which mention the wifi issue on Ubuntu 20.04, but I don't get the bug mentioned in the post

Even try some generic fixes from posts like "Wi-Fi Not Working in Linux? Here’s How to Fix it".

So here my specs and some useful outputs. Running sudo lshw -C network I get:

Running sudo modprobe iwlwifi && sudo dmesg | grep iwl I get:

sudo modprobe iwlwifi command does not show me anything at all... :/

So I decided to attach my smartphone and do USB tethering to access internet, as you can see running nmcli, I get:

Use "nmcli device show" to get complete information about known devices and
"nmcli connection show" to get an overview on active connection profiles.
Consult nmcli(1) and nmcli-examples(7) manual pages for complete usage details.

Output of rfkill:

 2 wlan      phy0                unblocked unblocked

So not sure how to activate the interface and connect to internet... Anybody with more experience can point me where to find the issue?

Thx a lot!

UPDATE 1: outputs of commands suggested in comments

command nmcli device wifi list with usb tethering disconnected:

IN-USE  BSSID  SSID  MODE  CHAN  RATE  SIGNAL  BARS  SECURITY

command sudo dmesg | grep wlp:

command cat /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf:

UPDATE 2: standing next to router and running sudo iwlist wlp9s0 scan

I can see the two network at 2 and 5GHz, but most of the info is Unknown:

I run the same command on my other computer located far away from the router, and I get more results (ie the networks of my neighbors), but what is interesting is the values for Quality are way highers for my network, like 44/70 for 5.18GHz and 54/70 for the 2.4GHz. Maybe the antenna of my laptop does not work well?
