They think that their domination is strong enough so that after an initial backlash, the users will come back since they have nowhere else to go. And they’re kind of right.

It’s strange how the Internet has been flooded by this news. Like leave Google alone or Firefox gets it. Very strategic use of the media might I say.

Propaganda? Judging by the number of downvotes, I assume people didn’t even bother watching a 5 minutes video. Set it on 2x speed.

I don’t know about evil, but it’s curious to see that the OS that Xiaomi uses is a modified version of OpenWRT, so the support could have been there. I mean it could still be an option in the future.

No, it cannot.

I had some very bad experience with their software over the years and I admit I haven’t tested their new line yet. Has it gotten better?

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Or you can just downvote away. Feedback be damned.

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.

Is this Markiplier?

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.

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

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.

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

You should see the GT-AX6000.
