Bro you misunderstood. This one is Speedtest with internal wifi card on wifi 7 with Deco BE85.

Pixel 9 Pro XL around only 2.1-2.2Gbps on BQ16/BE85.

Thanks for the correction.

What is the computer configuration (CPU)? Using Intel BE200 WiFi 7 adapter or Qualcomm QCNCM865 adapter?

Best WiFi 7 speed using Dual Band WiFi 7 router without 6GHz band.

Asus TUF-BE6500 router, Intel BE200 WiFi 7 adapter.

This one is really hard to beat (2202Mbps download, 2357Mbps upload) for dual band WiFi 7 router without 6GHz band,

My test results at close range 0.5m and Intel BE200 adapter.

The following results are with a WiFi 7 capable notebook, Acer Swift Go OLED 2024 model (Core Ultra 125H CPU, 16GB/1TB) with the on-board Intel Killer(TM) Wi-Fi 7 BE1750x 320MHz capable Wireless Network Adapter (BE200NGW)

For good 2x2 160MHz WiFi 7 client, the speed will be at about 1.2Gbps to 2.0 Gbps (MAX PHY Link Speed 2882 Mbps).

Test 2 Acer swift3 314-57 comfast CF-983BE in USB3 port
Speeds are more inconsistent than yesterday, this was probably the best result. Previous test topped out around 240MBits/s. Can't force it to use wifi7 protocol. First packet always seemed to be very bursty/ fast. Won't do any further testing until 24H2 is properly released. Also don't know whether I want to throw any more money into Wifi7 when the TP-link/ Asus USB come out.

No issues with Comfast CF-983BE WiFi 7 adapter on my Acer Swift 3 Year 2021 laptop (built-in Intel AX201 WiFi 6 adapter disabled, Intel Core i5-1135G7 CPU, 16G/512GB, Windows 11 23H2, model number SF314-511-53T9).

ZTE BE7200 Pro+ dual band WiFi 7 adapter (no 6GHz band), CH60 on the 5GHz band, 160MHz channel bandwidth.

Very close range (0.5m distance)

In the previous test, I forgot to open the Antenna. With that the speed increased quite a bit at 4m distance.

No improvements on very close range though (0.5m distance)
