This may be an unpopular opinnion… Let me get this straight. We get big tech corporations to read the articles of the web and then summarize to me, the user the info I am looking for. Sounds cool, right? Yeah, except that why in the everloving duck would I trust Google, Microsoft, Apple or Meta to give me the correct info,...
Then why not use an ad-blocker? It’s not wise to think you’re getting the right information when you can’t verify the sources. Like I said, at least for me, the trust me bro aspect doesn’t cut it.
I don’t deny the usefulness aspect of AI. I used it recently to increase the resolution of a video. It’s awesome. But when it’s used to replace info search, art, music… Just why?
Some Qualcomm adapters do work with Linux, those that were available last year. The MSI does not seem to work with anything else than Windows 11 at the moment.
I got two BE200 adapters and both are non-vPro. I did not know about the AMD systems bug, I thought it’s just basic driver incompatibility. So I will look a bit more into it.
I am getting a lot of mixed signals here. Then I will continue posting reviews of wireless routers, I guess… I will also answer questions about the review itself.
If you were planning to get an Intel WiFi 7 PCI adapter, watch this video first. I checked the single-client throughput using both BE200 and a WiFi 6E adapter. And the results were … underwhelming.
The video is about testing WiFi 7 devices using the BE200… Clickbait implies deception. Did you have a different experience with a WiFi 7 AP or router? That’s the point of this video, a discussion on whether I missed something and find out why things aren’t better.
Sure, fair enough. But the video it still about the disappointing BE200 performance. I really wished to discuss about that, not some image, but here we are.
I agree that it should have been an article, but Google doesn’t really care for such websites (I tried, trust me), so I had to make it in video format. And it’s not so much the Wi-Fi 7 which is still in development mode, but the only available PCI adapter which works like ass…
I know about his video. He got a better performance with a Qualcomm-based WiFi adapter. Until MSI has made one available a few days ago, there was only the BE200 on the market.
I agree that it’s very early to go with WiFi 7 at the moment. The issue that I have with the current situation is that Qualcomm managed to make a Wi-Fi 7 adapter which apparently works with AMD and Intel, while the BE200 is ‘locked’ to their platform only. They didn’t even go with CNVi this time. It’s just strange and may sway people towards a certain platform due to a simple compatibility issue like this.
Honestly, I don’t know how the BE200 works and whether there’s a strict communication protocol only with Intel CPUs. I hope that’s not the case and a firmware update will widen its reach. As for why I don’t like this situation is that we only get one solution working with one platform. Qualcomm, apparently made it available for both (from what I could find on the web), but since the card is not in stock since maybe November, we’re stuck with what Intel wants to feed us. Sure, Intel can do whatever it wants, but it’s not really fair for AMD users. Edit: spelling.
I checked the official Intel page (www.intel.com/content/www/…/specifications.html) and there was no mention of CNVi. If you search for the visual difference between cards that use CNVio2 and those that use PCie, there is an actual difference at the connector level. I still don’t think that the BE200 works in the same manner as the AX211.

It seems that Intel is gatekeeping WiFi 7 and I analyzed the options that we currently have.
