WAVLINK WiFi 7 BE8800 PCIe Network Card for Desktop PC, 2024 Tri-Band BE200 Wireless Adapter with Bluetooth 5.4, MU-MIMO, WPA3, for Windows 11/10(64bit), Only Supports Intel Motherboard

Easy to install. Games do not freeze.

I have a system that did not come with built-in Wifi or Bluetooth. I was using a USB Bluetooth dongle on this system, but didn't have any Wifi. This PCIe adapter was acquired to remedy both shortcomings.Installation was trivial for me as I build my own computers, but a relative novice might have just a little bit of trouble installing it. You do need an open PCIe slot of any length (x1 through x16), which most systems should have. The odd thing to me was using a cable to connect the card to an available USB 2.0 port on the motherboard. I happened to have an available port and knew how to identify it, but I can see where this might be a concern for people who are not accustomed to working inside their computer.After physically installing the card and cable, I had to boot up Windows (it only works with Windows) and install drivers. This could end up being a Catch-22 for people who are getting this card to provide them with internet, but without driver files, can't connect to the internet. For those people, they will have to use a laptop or a friend's computer to download the drivers to a USB Flash drive, then bring it over to their desktop system to install the drivers.Driver installation was easy. There are two driver installers, one for Wifi and one for Bluetooth. It turns out that these are Intel drivers, which of course helps identify the chipset as being Intel. This is a good thing as Intel makes high-quality Wifi and Bluetooth chipsets.After installation, the system connected to both Wifi and Bluetooth normally. The computer identified the Wifi as Wifi 7, and the Bluetooth as 5.4. I was able to use both wireless connections successfully.Although installation has the potential to be a bit tricky, in the end everything installed smoothly so I didn't deduct any stars for this. The hardware performed as expected. Thus I can recommend this unit if you want the latest in Wifi and Bluetooth connectivity for your Desktop Windows computer.

This was not immediately recognized on my Linux Mint Debian Edition PC install, but Win10 and 11 both recognized the wifi and bluetooth devices. Speeds are great, I get the full 6a speeds of my router. Sadly, I don't yet have Wifi7, but will be getting it soon. I will update the review if there are any issues with this card connecting over Wifi7 compared to my current usage on a 6 router.

This is an Intel BE200-based PCI Express network card for a desktop computer. It includes both full height and half-height backsplash plates, with the full height installed by default, plus two external antennas and a cable to connect the Bluetooth feature to your mainboard.Installation was as easy as any other expansion card - just drop it into place. I actually found that Windows 11 already had drivers built in and ready to go, but I went ahead and installed the slightly updated drivers Wavlink provided just to be on the safe side.Performance here is exceptional. Connected to a TP-Link WiFi 7 router from several rooms away on a 6Ghz network, I can get 700Mbps download speeds - well within range of what my iPhone 16 Pro Max can receive from a similar distance. I'm sure it would be even faster if the two devices were closer. I haven't successfully used an MLO network yet, but I think that issue is on the TP-Link side as both my iPhone and this card have problems connecting when I enable that feature, so that's not this card's fault.Intel is a well-respected maker of Wi-Fi modules and this is pretty much the gold standard - highly recommended if you want to retrofit really fast wireless capabilities into a desktop PC.

Works super fast on the latest standards for both Bluetooth and wifi. I plugged it into my intel motherboard machine and it gave full wifi 7 speeds at a great distance. If you are looking to update to the latest standard but have an older intel machine with a pcie 1x slot I highly recommend this item. It worked easily and it found the device when I booted up my machine with it for the first time. It found and auto installed the drive for it on windows 11. Pro tip if you don’t get an auto installed driver with the first boot up you need the driver from WavLink for it. This device also supports WPA 3 wireless security standards to harden your WIFI connection against outside threats. (your ap/wifi must support it tho) The device preformed up to wifi 7 standard of wifi speed and I can recommend it for anyone looking to increase their speed and connectivity on their own WIFI and wants the latest and greatest wireless standard. Also it came well packed in anti static bags for each component.

I have to admit that I don't have Wifi 7 yet -- although I upgraded my wireless router within the last year, it's still on WiFi 6, which actually offers really good speeds as is. So, my experience with this card is strictly based on WiFi 6 traffic, and it's a positive one.The card installed in my Win11 Pro desktop without any issues. The speeds I was observing were at least as good and in many cases better than my older card (handed down to another PC). Amazingly, my Bluetooth connection significantly improved with the new card. In fact, the effect of the BT upgrade is even more visible than the WiFi upgrade.So far, no issues with the ongoing experience. Good brand, reasonable price. I give it 5 stars.

I don't know if I didn't have the right antennas or my old wifi was just too old but this made a huge difference. I don't have a wifi 7 router just yet, but even then this is a huge upgrade. New wifi devices will be backwards compatible with older standards but will have better internals so it is still most of the time an upgraded Wifi 5/6/6e or whichever. Wavlink is my favorite brand for networking products, everything is always packed great and has everything needed included with it. This is also a much better pcie card than most, it has power circuitry I think for either power failure damage prevention or noise dampening. A lot of cards are just direct links to the M.2 but this one isn't.

The Wavlink Wi-Fi 7 PCIe Network card arrived in a nicely presented box with everything included to get you up and running in no time, providing WI-FI and Bluetooth 5.4 to your pc. It even has a metal bracket replacement for mini pc. Installation was straightforward, I have built many pc in the past. After sliding in the card on to the Motherboard PCIe port, You then need to connect another cable, In order to gain Bluetooth, this is connected via the USB motherboard pins.I must mention, its probably best to download the drivers beforehand, I didn't and I was using a Bluetooth keyboard. Windows 11 did recognised the WI-FI and it could find networks, it was just the Bluetooth side that needed drivers. Luckily I had a wired keyboard to do all of that. Downloading and install both up to date drivers from Wavlink website is straightforward with the model number marked very clearly on the box (more manufacturers should do this!). After installing both drivers, the Bluetooth icon was on my desktop and everything worked.Now I must point out my router is not W-IFI 7, its 6 but it still runs amazing, download and transfer files between pc's speeds was outstanding. To keep things in context the range is good, but my PC is only about 3 metres away from the router and being a new build house, the walls are paper thin, I never anticipated there would be any problems with signal (Your mileage may vary).Final Thoughts: This is an excellent Wi-Fi and Bluetooth combo PCIe card, it 'hits two birds with one stone'. Downloading the drivers on the website was simple. The red heatsinks on the card looks beefy and would definitely do a more than adequate job at dissipating heat. It might not be the cheapest card out there, but it is definitely worthy of your consideration. Recommended 5 Stars.

Se avete un PC desktop (chipset INTEL, mi raccomando. NO AMD) che ormai ha qualche anno, ma che funziona ancora più che bene, e volete aggiornare la parte radio (WiFi + BT) all'ultima versione disponibile, questa è la vostra soluzione.La scheda WAVLINK ‎WL-WN685BE3-B è una scheda PCI-E x1 compatta che monta il chipset Intel BE200 e quindi supporta il nuovo WiFi7 (oltre ai vecchi protocolli) ed il BT 5.4.Attenzione, però, alle limitazioni: WIN10 o 11 (ma le ultime releases) con i driver più aggiornati (ci dovrebbe pensare WIN update, ma eventualmente sono facili da trovare sul sito Intel o del produttore.E NIENTE CHIPSET AMD sulla vostra scheda madre, altrimenti si blocca tutto.Per il collegamento del BT serve anche un connettore USB interno sulla MB (sulle schede madri recenti ce ne dovrebbero essere liberi a bizzeffe).Una volta completata l'installazione e l'aggiornamento driver, siete pronti a volare.Costruzione di ottima qualità, dissipatore generoso ed antenne esterne orientabili.Per quanto riguarda le velocità massime, sia WiFi, che BT, ovviamente dipende dalla posizione del vostro PC rispetto al router WiFi o la sorgente BT, ma se la distanza non è oltre qualche metro e non ci sono muri spessi di mezzo, allora saranno molto vicine a quelle massime teoriche.Prezzo assolutamente in linea con la qualità complessiva del prodotto ... e spesso c'è anche un coupon/sconto da applicare che ne abbassa un po' il prezzo.Molto bene, quindi.

Adquirí esta tarjeta de red wifi ya que donde tenía ubicado la torre PC no tenía forma de hacer llegar un cable RJ45. , así que para mí era la solución perfecta. Al instalarla se ve de buena construcción. Viene con todo lo necesario para poder instalarlo. Hay que ver las especificaciones en la descripción del producto porque no vale para todas las ranuras PCI. Dicho esto, la embajada viene con un disipador para poder evacuar el calor producido por su funcionamiento. Tiene wi-fi categoría 7 y bluetooth mediante un cable incluido para poder conectar a la placa con un conector de 9 pines. También incluye una placa adaptadora para poderla instalar en PC de sobremesa horizontal. Para poder tener una buena recepción Wi-Fi viene con dos antenas bastante grandes que giran 360 grados. Yo tengo el wifi ubicado bastante lejos y en otra planta de la casa y he conseguido velocidades de bajada de más de 500 Mb/s. En velocidad de subida así que era bastante limitado pero quizás era por la infraestructura de mi casa con mucha madera y mucho recoveco.Hay tarjetas Wi-Fi mucho más rápidas con wifi 8 pero sinceramente por calidad-precio cumple perfectamente su cometido.Lo recomiendo.

This has been working fine in my PC and was relatively easy to install, but do check your clearance between your GPU and your PCI-E slot before buying to avoid disappointment! It comes with everything you need to install it in your computer, including a bracket for what I believe to be a midi PC (at least that's what I think those really small PC's are called)It comes with a wire that you use to connect the card to one of your USB headers on the motherboard. I believe this is for the Bluetooth so if you're not planning to use that, you could potentially leave it disconnected. There are two antennas, which I'm assuming is one for the WiFi and one for the Bluetooth. These are easy to install as they just screw in.The only thing I would've liked to have seen was some sort of drivers, via an included disc or even permanently stored on the card. It's a bit silly having to go on the internet to download the drivers when you need this device to go on the internet in the first place.Apart from that though, I'm happy with this product and can highly recommend it.
