It seems that Intel is gatekeeping WiFi 7 and I analyzed the options that we currently have.

I checked the official Intel page (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/230078/intel-wifi-7-be200/specifications.html) and there was no mention of CNVi. If you search for the visual difference between cards that use CNVio2 and those that use PCie, there is an actual difference at the connector level. I still don't think that the BE200 works in the same manner as the AX211.

Yeah, sorry I wrote the comment before I watched the video.
