Intel made an 8265NGW. I suspect you have a typo.

lspci | NGW
This is to make sure your computer sees the card. It should give
one line of output similar to:
29:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265NGW [Windstorm Peak]
If you don't get something close to that, it is not properly
installed.
Next is to install firmware. You need the non-free repository
enabled. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list to make sure that this line
has non-free at the end of it:
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main contrib non-free
Then
sudo apt update
sudo apt install firmware-iwlwifi
You may need to reboot after this.
ip link
will show you the new wifi card.
