Wi-Fi 7 support on AMD

Framework Laptop 13
1

Hi
I see the Framework Laptop 13 on AMD now supports Wi-Fi 7 module. Looks like this is an MTK module - MT7925B22M and is not Wi-Fi Alliance certified (checked the d/b). Since it doesn’t have support for the 320MHz channel widths, it may be why some people are not satisfied with the data rates (in 6GHz).

My question is whether there are other cards which have been tested/validated by the community to work with the AMD platform? I’m hesitant to rely on the MTK card, especially if it hasn’t been through any WFA testing/certification.

Thanks,

Get a Qualcomm QCNCM865.

I have one on my FW13 AMD7040.
On Windows works perfectly, with MLO dual concurrent bands.
On Fedora (using mainline kernel) works pretty good, still some rough edges, MLO is still a bit unstable.

but on both, 6GHz 320Mhz works and allow me to saturate the 2.5GbE interface of the U7 Pro

I’ve put one in my FW16 too. Works well in general, though my 6GHz reception is pretty poor due to several walls between me and the access point, so I can’t say much about that band.
