Wi-Fi 7 network card purchasing

[West_Gate]

Hi, I am a network maintenance professional, and I am considering upgrading to a Wi-Fi 7 network card.

I would like to know if the BE series network cards can simultaneously monitor two channels of network signals in monitor mode, for example, using tools like Wireshark. If this is possible, which specific network card should I purchase?

Hello West_Gate,

Thank you so much for patiently waiting on my response.

Unfortunately, current Intel® wireless adapters do not support monitor mode or packet injection.

You may confirm this by opening the Command Prompt (CMD) in administrator mode and running the netsh show wlan all command. It will show you all the wireless device capabilities.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Best regards,
