My wifi keeps loosing connectivity and even disappears from the settings networks list, sometimes causing the notebook to shutdown.
I am looking to upgrade the Intel 3160ngw card and wondering if I can use the 9260ngw or even the AX200NGW M2 cards?

Hi:
I cannot find any discussions where anyone tried to upgrade the Wi-Fi adapter in that model series, so anything you try will not be guaranteed to work.
Since your notebook has an AMD processor, there is only one newer Intel Wi-Fi adapter that I know of that may work.
HP installed this model Wi-Fi adapter in my HP 15-ee0047nr which has an AMD Ryzen 5 4500U processor.
Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 ax 2×2 + Bluetooth 5.0 MU-MIMO M.2 2230 non-vPro HP part # L35282-005
You should be able to find this model Wi-Fi card on eBay.
Search by the HP part number, not the model of the Wi-Fi card.
There is a maintenance and service guide on your notebook's support page that will have the procedure to remove and replace the Wi-Fi adapter.
