Hey dear people,
I was thinking about buying this wifi nic with an intel be200 wifi 7 chip. Has anyone tried this or knows if this is compatible? It must be reliable because my parents want to use it for homeoffice. We have the worst wifi right now. Something like wifi 3 or 4. My dad cant hold his meetings, some with 50+ people, because our router has an intel puma 7 chip:( Instant bufferbloat beyond 1k ms.
Intel wireless cards are often temperamental (do not work in every mainboard, every PCIe slot), while the drivers 'work', they aren't stellar (and power saving causes even more fun). They do not support AP mode (at least on 5 GHz) at all (very limited 2.4 GHz AP capabilities are available).
So what's your actual question?
Compatible with what? Windows (yes, limitatations apply, see above), desktop linux (yes, limitatations apply, see above), OpenWrt (yes, limitatations apply, see above - it's utterly useless as AP)?
With which usage expectation, AP mode (no), concurrent dual-band (no), client mode/ STA (yes)?
These are not the droids you're looking for.
Plus Intel BE wifi adapters have issues running in AMD based systems.
They (can) also have issues in Intel based systems (at least my skylake).
All recent'ish Intel (AX200, AX210, BE200) Intel cards I've used were pretty temperamental, strongly 'favouring' one PCIe slot over another, already at BIOS level, …
There are much more cooperative specimens around from different silicon manufacturers.
