SamB OP ,

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.

SamB OP ,

I mean, sure, as long as you're keeping the data locally. Otherwise, yikes.

SamB OP ,

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?

SamB OP ,

And the AI will? It will use all websites to give you the info. It doesn’t think, it spins.

SamB OP ,

Can you please provide a link to the Intel WiFi 7 adapter that does work with AMD systems? I would really like to test it asap.

SamB OP ,

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.

SamB OP ,

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.

SamB OP ,

Alright, alright. I will not be posting any wireless router reviews on Technology anymore..

SamB OP ,

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.

SamB OP ,

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.

SamB OP ,

Or you can just downvote away. Feedback be damned.

SamB OP ,

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.

SamB OP ,

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..

SamB OP ,

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.

SamB OP ,

I used an Intel pc. I did try on AMD, but the WiFi adapter doesn’t get detected.

SamB OP ,

Sorry, the link got deleted.. It's added now.

SamB OP ,

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.

SamB OP ,

Hey man, I agree, but I also want to be able to test new devices without having to replace my entire newly built PC :D

SamB OP ,

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.

SamB OP ,

I checked the official Intel page (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/230078/intel-wifi-7-be200/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.

SamB OP ,

Are the images not loading? There should be multi client and single client test results.

SamB OP ,

Honestly, I don’t think there are any WiFi 6 or 6e routers that support ddwrt. And only a handful that support openwrt.. Can’t recommend any since I did not test them.

SamB OP ,

The RT6600ax is on my list of routers that I will test. Hopefully it got cheaper to make the time invested worth it.

SamB OP ,

Since it seems that the link has been removed, I will try to add it in the comments: https://www.mbreviews.com/asus-rt-ax88u-pro-wifi-6-router-review/
What a strange occurrence

SamB OP ,

It depends on the brand since very few allow the user to properly configure and control the mesh system. Then again, there’s AiMesh available.

SamB OP ,

Oh, it was removed.. I attempted to add the link in a comment. Hopefully it stays.

SamB OP ,

It seems that the link got deleted. I inserted it into a comment.

SamB OP ,

Oh, I wholeheartedly agree. But I don’t think we’ll manage to convince many people, outside the tech enthusiasts that this is the best way for good WiFi.

SamB OP ,

Noted.

SamB OP ,

I am more interested whether the testing methodology is good enough and clear. I can apply it to multi node systems, as well as wireless APs.

SamB OP ,

You should see the GT-AX6000.

SamB OP ,

Thank you for the suggestion. I will add power consumption to the article as well, it’s easy to do so.
