If you have set up root password:

Code: Select all

su-
modprobe iwlwifi
If you have sudo enabled:

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe iwlwifi
Or just reboot the laptop. Make sure NetworkManager is installed (it should be on any DE install).

https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList
https://wiki.debian.org/iwlwifi

In short, add non-free repo and then install firmware-iwlwifi package.

After that, just reboot the laptop.

^Have you updated the sources list after you added it?

Code: Select all

apt update
Have you read the wiki pages me and Garry have directed you to?

EDIT:
Try swapping

Code: Select all

deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ stretch main contrib non-free
with

Code: Select all

deb  http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch main contrib non-free
Then run:

Code: Select all

apt update
as root.
There might be some problems with repo mirrors.

Try this:

https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unof ... 4/iso-dvd/ I know I'm talking re-install, but the firmware disk saved me a lot of headaches.
