How fast can Wi-Fi 7 get? (Using a BE200 adapter) (youtu.be)

If you were planning to get an Intel WiFi 7 PCI adapter, watch this video first. I checked the single-client throughput using both BE200 and a WiFi 6E adapter. And the results were .... underwhelming.

Disappointed that it's only one arrow! I do appreciate the red circle. Also needs a bit more clickbait title in the thumbnail.

The video is about testing WiFi 7 devices using the BE200... Clickbait implies deception. Did you have a different experience with a WiFi 7 AP or router? That's the point of this video, a discussion on whether I missed something and find out why things aren't better.

I wouldn't classify clickbait as deception so much as a certain intentional vagueness that requires clicking to get what could have been in the title from the beginning.

Also, every damn thumbnail on YouTube seems to look like, well, that. Pointing to a random thing (hard to tell what it is from the thumbnail alone), a vague title with a vague emotion, and a person with a weird expression for some reason.

Sure, fair enough. But the video it still about the disappointing BE200 performance. I really wished to discuss about that, not some image, but here we are.

Or you can just downvote away. Feedback be damned.
