WiFi 7 BE200

I picked up this Intel BE200 M.2 E-Key Wi-Fi 7 card to future-proof a mini PC running Windows 11 Pro. My goal was to pair it with a Wi-Fi 7-capable router (UniFi U7 Pro) and get ahead of the curve on wireless performance. Overall, it delivers—but with some caveats that buyers should be aware of. Installation Installed into the M.2 E-Key slot on an ASUS PN53 mini PC. The card is 2230-sized and fits securely. It does not come with antenna cables or external antennas, so make sure you have those ready or order a kit. Without antennas, your range will be terrible. Compatibility The BIOS picked it up immediately, and Windows 11 auto-installed the basic driver. For full performance, I downloaded Intel’s latest Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers manually. If you’re using Windows 10, this card is a waste—it’s not officially supported. Performance On a Wi-Fi 7 tri-band router with 320 MHz channel width and minimal interference, I saw 2.3–2.6 Gbps in real-world transfer rates on a local NAS. That’s nearly double what I was getting from an AX201 Wi-Fi 6 module in the same machine. Latency is rock-solid for game streaming, and it handled multiple 4K streams with no hiccups. Bluetooth 5.4 works fine for mice, keyboards, and wireless headphones. Range seems slightly better than my older AX210 card. Pros: • True Wi-Fi 7 support with 320 MHz and 4K • Bluetooth 5.4 support • Works out of the box on Windows 11 • Great upgrade path for future networks

Windows update doesn't have the driver for this yet, so you may need to use another computer or a usb adapter temporarily to download the driver directly from Intel. And then....it works great! Incredibly fast on Windows 10, even when it's not near the router. My router only does wifi6 and this device connects at the max for wifi 6, everywhere in the house! Highly recommended. Please note you won't see wifi 7 speeds until your router supports it but there's never a bad time to future proof your devices.

It's obvious the 1-star people either don't know what they are buying, or how to install it properly. This is an m.2 card. It doesn't go into a PCIe slot or an SDCARD slot. It also requires you to attach it to an existing antenna array in a laptop or a desktop that using m.2 cards for WIFI. I installed in my laptop, replacing the WIFI 6 card, and Windows reports it as 802.11be (WIFI 7), and I'm getting the full down/up speeds from my ISP. The funny thing is, the box it came in was incorrect, and said it was WIFI6, but was indeed Intel's BE200 card.

My wife bought me a new gaming laptop from Costco for my birthday. The only negatives were the Wi-Fi card that came installed. Lots of dropouts in Wi-Fi according to reviews, so I ordered this before I even received the laptop. Installation was super easy as long as you go the website and download the drivers. My BT wasn't working at all and after downloading the drivers from the website, BT started working immediately! Highly recommend this card to anyone looking for solid Wi-Fi along with great BT!

Product is FINE, this however will not work with AMD Chipsets should have stated somewhere on site. Now i am stuck with it.

Great addition to my qct1250. Plug and play. No issues.

Only the description says Wifi 7. Everything else, even the protocol say it's a Wifi 6. So yes, looks like a s...you know what. Speed test = 180 ish versus the Wifi 6 card that this replaced is 900 ish.

I bought this wifi card to replace the one on my Gigabyte Aorus z790 Elite X Wifi7 Motherboard prior to installing due to having the revision before they switched to Intel WiFi cards from the awful ones they came with. Install was a breeze, everything connects as it should, and my motherboard recognized it and received updates for it. Connectivity is as it should and I've had no issues. I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone that is building a PC and does NOT have an Intel Wifi card.

Excelente produto funcionando perfeitamente.

I installed 2 of these into 2 intel based laptops and works very well and now have access to the 6hz wifi networks. Very satisfied with the purchase 😀

I just received the module. I installed it right away and powered on my laptop, which has Intel i7-10750H CPU (Dell G3 3500). The card was recognized immediately and the drivers were already pre-installed (I use Intel support assist and get the latest driver packages automatically). I have a TP-Link Archer BE800 at home, which has WiFi7, hence the upgrade to this WiFi BE200 module. So the connection speed at close proximity is around 3.2 Gbps Receive/2.8Gbps Send. However I have a 2Gbps Internet subscription and could reach that speed with the WiFi easily (1m from the router). Realistically speaking, when I am in the other room (two walls and two glasses away) I get around 1.2Gbps download and 600Mbps upload, which is still great. In comparison to my previous WiFi module (Intel AX210), I gained 500Mbps more bandwidth on the download, but not much on the upload. So overall, I am pretty happy with my purchase. Let's hope prices get lower in the future and I will be able to install it in my other PCs around the house. Btw - I had to wait almost a month for the item to arrive, because they shipped it from USA.

Funciona excelente, en mi caso si tuve que bajar el drive directo de intel tal y como decían las instrucciones, pero fue simple y rapido. Ya puedo usar el wifi 7 en mi laptop gracias a esta tarjeta y mi router.

اكثر من ممتاز
