For my Thinkpad, I burned CDs with:

A. Disk (1) begins without problem, then stops for wifi firmware:
Try it with one of the non-free network install ISOs from
https://cdimage.debian.org/images/unofficial/non-free/images-including-firmware/current/multi-arch/iso-cd/
I have been using these:
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/10.3.0+nonfree/amd64/iso-cd/
My first try installing Debian was with an 'official' install DVD & I
had to find an ethernet cable to make a connection because wifi
wouldn't work :(
Maybe they've got instructions somewhere that somebody understands to
get all the hardware on their machine working.. me? I went with the
"unofficial alternative build includes non-free firmware for extra
support for some awkward hardware." and didn't have any problems.
