Funny, wifi6 is already bottlenecked by 1Gbit pretty hard. Those routers gotta be pretty cheap to justify that.
Probably going to be a while till my 50$ wifi6 openwrt aps get replaced, openwrt capable wifi7 hw is still pretty expensive.
Router has two 10gig ports. However don’t own anything new enough that can accept 10Gb in 
However I don’t doubt that it’s able to at least reach WiFi 7 speeds.
I don’t have a framework laptop yet, but my current laptop, that I purchased recently came with a Mediatek 7927 Wi-Fi 7 card which doesn’t work on any Linux Distro.
What is the best laptop card to get for AMD motherboards and CPUs? Also where is the best place to get it?
If you don’t need wifi7, an intel ax210 is hard to beat. You can get those for around 20$ from a lot of places.

The RZ717 / Mediatek MT7925 support 160MHz bandwidth and has Linux support.
The RZ738 / Mediatek MT7927 support 320MHz bandwidth, but drivers seem to continue holding it back.
That said the Mediatek hardware seems just as capable based on some people’s excellent experiences. But the drivers seem they still need a lot of work considering how many people still have poor experiences. Especially on Linux, but also on Windows.
That said, personally I’m much more looking forward to Bluetooth LE Audio hardware support for simultaneous stereo mic and stereo headphones. Windows added software support about a year ago, but I’ve yet to find a headphone + computer which actually do it together. I think the MT7925 and MT7927 have the hardware for it, but the drivers aren’t there yet. And I don’t think any headphones or earbuds support it yet either.
It looks like Linux support for the MT7927 is finally coming through community reverse engineering efforts.

Can anyone tell me where I can get drivers for the Mediatek M7925 for win11?
Hello,
Recently bought a QCNCM865 Wifi Card since I’ve seen mentioned here (and other places) that it is working with the 7040 laptops.
However, when I swap it to the new card, my laptop refuses to boot, blank screen, no led anywhere. It is “bricked” so much so, that when I swap back the factory mediateck Wifi chip it refuses to boot with that too. The only thing I figured out to boot the system back is unplugging and plugging in the battery connector.
Does anyone have an idea what it could be ? Any help is appreciated.
Thank you
I guess it’s a faulty QCNCM865, or possibly you’ve actually been sold a mislabelled Intel BE200.
Now that would be a creative scam. But the be200 only prevents posting while installed, not after so probably not.
