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

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

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.

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!

Unfortunately, I cannot test the performance of the card in my laptop due to the E key only option. It works fine in a pcie to E key adaptor and works on windows 10/11. Note in windows 10 you will not see 6ghz. only 2.4/5ghz.

This is a great add-on or swap for an older WiFi card but, it ONLY work on Intel motherboards. If you have an AMD Ryzen board this wifi card doesn't work and your computer may not even boot up with it installed. Like with mine, an ASROCK x570m Pro4, the computer would not even post with the wifi card installed. I changed to a different non-intel be200 chip card and the system booted and worked great. Now, this card installed in an Intel motherboard gives you WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 and works perfectly! No problems

Device failed to function after windows update

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.

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
