USB Wifi 7 adapter - USB-BE92 Nano

[sfx2000]

I'm planning to skip the entire Wi-Fi 7 generation just because of the enormous false advertising around it. Wi-Fi 6 is more stable and fast enough for whatever needs to be wirelessly connected. For higher speeds and even better reliability - wires.

As WiFi specs get more complicated - the client loads increase... and basic compat from client to AP...

USB devices need to support USB2 at a minimum, that's one thing...

Getting onto the whole of WiFi7 and MLO - that's a big ask over USB, as this assume that the adapter is a FullMAC device, which most USB devices are not. Not saying that's impossible, but perhaps impracticable...

Give it some time - as you mention WiFi6 is getting sorted and pretty much good - 11be will get there...

I always need to download 4k video and wifi7@320mhz can reach my expectations

WiFi5/802.11ac can meet that need - just saying - and 11ac can stream, not just download...

Asus confirmed that the device is only... USB 2.0. Which means this product make zero sense...

Thanks for clarifying.

Lucky that I had also bought the Comfast adapter which is USB3.0 from Taobao market and the price was cheap and it can reached giga speed when doing test yesterday. I will sell the Asus one out.

This type of advertising started years ago with N-class devices. N300 router with Fast Ethernet ports... sure. BE6500 with USB 2.0 is just the best I've seen so far. Not limited to Asus though. My access points:

Oh... I actually have even better one:

This is GL.iNet Brume 2 device with single 2.5GbE WAN port and single GbE LAN port. It's a wired router, no wireless radio. Where is the extra 1.5GbE on WAN going - only GL.iNet knows. This is just amazing design.

I guess my poking at least got someone to wake up, since they just published the official driver for it. Windows now properly reports it as a WIfi 7 interface, tho that's mostly a cosmetic change, nothing can fix the hardware limitations...
