AMD, Intel and Wifi 7

[Garyilka]

Hi folks. I use an  AMD Ryzen 5 7600 on an ASUS PRIME X670-P. I have been using an Intel AX210 wifi card with an Asus Wifi 6E  router with no problem at all. However, I treated myself to a new Netgear Wifi 7 router and so installed an Intel BE200 card. The result - no wifi at all!! The card is not recognised as a network card in device manager, although the BT is working!

A little more homework has revealed that there seems to be an issue with Intels BE200 card and AMD. Does anyone know if this is likely to resolved at some point? Is it an issue with the AMD processor or with the Intel card itself? Anyone know??

I think the issue is simply that Intel have made the BE200 so that it will only work on Intel platform. Crafty-Dafty that as it's not generally known. You can read more at:

https://dongknows.com/wi-fi-7-upgrade-on-a-windows-computer/#:

where the specific paragraph says :-

"Unlike previous Intel Wi-Fi chips, the BE200 only works with Intel-based computers — it doesn’t work with an AMD-based machine, for example. There will likely be other Wi-Fi 7 adapters in the near future that work with all CPUs"

So - I either wait for someone to make a WiFi card that works with AMD CPUs or I rebuild my setup to Intel Mobo and CPU.........

Intel BE200 works with some AMD B450 motherboards, but there is no information yet about their work on boards with socket AM5
