Best PCIe Wifi 7 Adapter?

[hadesflames]

What would be the very best adapter I can get if cost is no issue and the only restriction being that it can't be using the intel be200 chipset given than my motherboard is AMD? I'm especially concerned with quality and stability. I don't want to deal with any kind of heating issues, disconnects, client drops or driver instability etc.

As far as I know the only other options are based on either the Qualcomm FastConnect 7800 such as the Gigabyte GC-WIFI7 v1.0
or mediatek's MT7927 (MT7925 would be the inferior chip and therefore not considerable) such as TP-Link TBE550E

The main concerns I have are that mediatek has always been the least reliable of the 3 providers with frequent drops that require restarts and such. At least in my experience my mediatek clients have always been a major pain. I'm not sure how much the latest iteration has improved in terms of that chip's quality and maybe even more importantly the quality of the drivers.

That said, when looking at the actual consumer options for these clients, the specs on the mediatek offerings have seemingly higher specs? I'm actually not sure how it's possible because for example the TP-Link TBE550E is marketed as a 9.3Gbps client, but mediatek themselves market the MT7927 as being a 6.5Gbps client which is in line with the comparable offering from Qualcomm which is also 6.5Gbps. So how is this possible?

I got this one and it's working great: MSI HERALD-BE WIFI 7 MAX (Qualcomm NCM865)

I removed the card from the adapter and installed it in my laptop

@hadesflames: +1 for the Herald BE, the gigabyte has 3x hardware versions with different M.2 cards used, so guaranteeing QCNCM is harder.
TBE550E is adding all 3 bands for the 9300, but it’s only DBDC. It does support 320mhz channels on 6Ghz, which it looks like the Qualcomm doesn’t, but that wouldn’t make a difference in my decision.
Edit: Just be careful on Open Box herald BE’s. Some unscrupulous people order it, swap the M.2 and return, I’ve seen some AC MT cards in a few Herald BE eBay listings…

I have a v1.0 GC-Wifi7 card already so the qualcomm variant is guaranteed. What I'm considering is whether this is currently the best possible card I can have, or whether I could find a better one for my main PC and donate the one I already have to my mom's PC.

That's intel BE200. Only works on intel motherboards.
