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