Excellent option for AMD processors, I didn't have any problems, just install it on the motherboard and that's it, I already had the drivers previously downloaded to the computer in case they weren't installed automatically. Zero internet drops, full upload and download speed all the time, Wifi 7 Protocol in Windows 11 24H2, good reception in terms of distance, modern design for gaming lovers. The only criticism would be that nowadays practically nobody uses CD-ROM and the box comes with the drivers on a totally useless CD and the price is perhaps somewhat high but I bought it on sale for $40.

The MSI Herald-BE NCM865 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Adapter presents a promising upgrade for users looking to enhance their connectivity with Wi-Fi 7 capabilities. However, it comes with some notable caveats that potential buyers should consider.## Compatibility and Installation ##One of the most critical points to note is that the MSI Herald-BE NCM865 is only compatible with Windows 11. Users running Windows 10 will find themselves unable to utilize this adapter.Installation of the card itself is relatively straightforward; it can be installed in a desktop with an available PCIe slot or in a laptop with an E-key M.2 slot. However, users must remember to connect the power cables to the USB input during installation to ensure proper functionality.## Driver Installation Challenges ##While the initial setup is simple, the driver installation can be a nightmare. The package includes a CD-ROM for driver installation, which feels outdated in today's digital age where many devices no longer come with optical drives. Users may struggle to find and install the correct drivers manually, especially since they are not available through Windows Update. For those facing difficulties, download the driver from the original homepage: https://www.msi.com/PC-Component/HERALD-BE-WIFI-7-MAX/support.## Performance ##Once installed and properly configured, the MSI Herald-BE NCM865 offers impressive performance with speeds reaching up to 5.8 Gbps and support for tri-band frequencies (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz) utilizing Multi-Link Operation (MLO) technology. This makes it a solid choice for users looking to future-proof their network capabilities.## Conclusion ##In summary, while the MSI Herald-BE NCM865 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Combo Adapter provides excellent performance and easy installation, its exclusive compatibility with Windows 11 and troublesome driver installation process may deter some users. If you are ready to navigate these challenges, this adapter could be a worthwhile investment for enhancing your wireless connectivity.

The MSI Herald-BE WI-FI 7 MAX works fine with Linux. The performance is good for both, wifi and bluetooth. However, it doesn't support monitor mode (a feature of the NIC that allows users to monitor and inspect network traffic on their networks).

Chasing more internet speed. Updated all my routers and computers to Wifi6 and thought I'd give this wifi 7 card a test even before upgrading my main router.It is a PCIe card with will fit the PCIe (1 or 16) slot on your motherboard. Speed tests are much different from the WIFI 6 card on my primary PC, but really didn't expect it to be. The card installs easily and MS installs the drivers or you can download them from MSI.I have a MSI MB with integrated wifi-6 and used the antenna which came with this card as a test. The antenna alone helped increase my internet speed. It has a magnetic base which the 6 antenna doesn't. So, good antenna.Will update info on speed when I upgrade my router to WIFI 7. Very good price and worth it, even if you are sticking with wifi6 for a while. Good quality, good antenna and works well so far. Using it now.

Sin mentir probé multiples antenas WIFI USB y un par PCI...- Varias antenas USB de UGreen (Wifi 5 y 6)- Varias USB de TP Link (wifi 5 y 6)- Antena muy costosa USB de Netgear- Antenas PCI variasTodas me daban perdida de paquetes o latencias aleatorias.Con esta antena, parece que tengo conexión por Ethernet, me olvide de la antena.Cabe mencionar que tengo un router Netgear RS700s WIFI 7 y con este se hicieron todas las pruebas.No puedo estar más feliz con mi compra y thumbs up for MSI for this beautiful piece of adapter.

Excellent Wifi 7 card, a bit pricey but essential if you want WIFI 7 on an AMD setupprevioulsy was using a be6500 usb dongle from china but this was very flaky and kept disconnecting assuming it wasnt AMD compatible and used the be200 chipset maybeanyway i can now get the full 900 down / 900 up from my broadband paired this with an ASUS BE92U wifi 7 router so have the 2.4 / 5 and 6 ghz (320mhz) bandsonly odd thing is connected to the 6ghz channel i get the full speed, over MLO which combines the 2.4 5 and 6 gives me a slightly slower speed of 820 (this should be faster!)probably user error but ill take a look at thatthe router is downstairs and 1 room across from mine so this has a decent range tooexpensive but the only choice if you want WIFI 7 on AMD (be200 does not work)

I installed the WiFi 7 card in my laptop with RYZEN chip and it works amazingly. You need to install the driver from MSI web page to work. You will notice fast loads immediately with low power consumption. But there is one thing it can cause interference with the other devices and disrupt connections on your other devices. So far my laptop with WiFi 7 works great and I am so happy to extend the life on my old computer.My laptop is a ASUS TUF FX505D RYZEN 7 3000series, 32gb of RAM, Windows 11 pro.

Do pre-install your drivers prior to installation and probably have a ethernet Internet connection ready nearby. Other then that it worked well. Had a problem where the wifi connection does not autoconnect had to manually connect to network aand problem resolved after reinstalling drivers. Don't expect too much of an improvement from wifi 6 to wifi 7. Go wired if high-speed is needed.

The Wi-Fi 7 doesn't work yet because Windows has not approved it yet. Supposedly 24H2 version of windows. But this does install on an AMD system. I have it in a Lenovo Yoga laptop and working correctly. I didn't post speed/links because they won't be valid until Windows updates to support Wi-Fi 7. Otherwise its just wifi 6E speedsd. It doesn't have any issues saturating my 1.2gig connection over wifi if I'm halfway close so that's a good sign.Again, it booted and installed for those with AMD systems. I did shuck it and stuck the old Intel AX210 in the other housing and that works. Shucking it was the only way to get this card right now since you can't buy it by itself.Pro's: Works with AMD!, easy to install, wifi 7Con's: Windows isn't updated yet to support wifi 7. It's coming, though.Overall, this is a solid deal if you want a wifi 7 card installed in a PC or a laptop that is AMD based. If you're willing to shuck it from the drive. Easy enough to do, you get a pretty solid card/antenna to go with it. I've got it connected to an Orbi RBE973S and its blazing fast. I can't wait to see what it can do when 7 is enabled on windows.
