no WiFi and Ethernet connection on msi gaming edge wifi. Where and how do I install the drivers if possible
I have freshly installed Ubuntu 20.04 on my newly build PC but it isn't recognizing my WiFi & Ethernet device. I downloaded Windows 10 on it before that and the Internet connection is just fine but when I use Ubuntu I get nothing. Not even a "No WiFi found" but "no WiFi adapter found". I already went to "Software & Updates" -> "Additional Drivers" like most forums say but there it's only showing me drivers for my graphics card. The WiFi and Ethernet devices are mounted on the Motherboard (msi B550 gaming edge WiFi) and the driver for the motherboard is only available for Windows 10 64bit. In the specification its says that the "Realtek® RTL8125B 2.5G LAN" driver is used but it is running on a "Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX200". I don't know which exact driver to use and even if I knew I don't know how to install it on Linux because I am new to it.
The only question coming close to my Problem is Here but it's using Arch Linux and I didn't understand a thing on what to do.
How to I get Internet in form of WiFi or Ethernet?
Right now I get my WiFi using USB Tethering from my Phone but it is really slow.
Here is the important Output I get when typing lspci -k

I also followed a lot of tutorials that promised to fix this problem by installing additional drivers but all of them didn't work. I think it has to do something with the build in WiFi and Ethernet. And pleas give me easy to follow institutions. I am new to Linux/Ubuntu and I don't know the terminology yet. Thanks for any answers in advance.
Solution 1:
I have found my solution. I downloaded the driver for realtek ethernet and entert the comands as good as i could and it worked.
