Bottom line is that mission critical applications, copper ethernet will always beat wireless connections with the fastest speeds and lowest latency. Now of course WiFi works fine too for most applications and it's convenient without running wires.
Why I change Wi-fi card in Laptop HP Victus 16-e0081AX (windows 11) to MT7925 but cant see driver in device management (open now hidden) install driver same in video
@@kengpai7883 For actual support, I assume either HP or Mediatek will help you better than anyone here can. I can give you my two cents though. Check the web for the MT7925 driver and download them manually. That's what I did and after a reboot, it worked on an Intel and an AMD-based Desktop PC.
Thanks for detailed review! I bought the same MT7925 but from Aliexpress. Windows 10 not supported and I'm planning to move into 11. Works out-of-box with 5Ghz 802.11ax AP in Fedora\Kali (monitor mode and injection works well). Kernels 6.7-6.10. I'm not able to test 6Ghz band as devices with Wi-Fi 7 and Wi-Fi 6E cannot be legally used in Ukraine (cause military radio relay station R-414MU works on 6-7Ghz)
It would be nice to get an idea of the bufferbloat on the adapters and APs you test. I'm wondering if all Windows adapters are terrible in that regard. My AX210 certainly is. Crusader is a portable tool I wrote to measure that.
You can check some of my reviews for APs because I have included some latency tests. But I haven't yet added the Mediatek into the bench devices simply because it didn't perform well. I will wait a bit more for some drivers, especially since Linux will release a new kernel next month which will include support for MLO.
I am using the MSI herald and have also updated to the 24H2 update. I am using the TP-Link BE85 BE22000 Tri-Band WiFi 7 with MLO turned out but i could never get MLO working. It will just connect to the 6ghz that's all. I updated the driver to the newest one 3.0.0.1207. Did you manage to get MLO to work on the MSI Herald?
It didn't work for me either. The 24H2 Windows update is not the final one, it's a sort of beta version, so we need to wait for the full release. And even then it's not 100% a given that it will be enabled.
@@SamBondor anyway, I just want to say great work. Your video actually helped me and saved me money. I almost bought the xiao mi wifi7 router but decided not to after watching your video and realizing it doesn’t haven’t 6ghz band
Hopefully not.. I saw the Notebookcheck review and I have been thinking whether ASUS has released better drivers which would improve the compatibility with the chipset. Laptops usually get far better support, while the PCIe adapters seem to be left for last. I had to update the BIOS on my MSI board in order to be able to install the latest Linux kernel version, so there are so many things which can go wrong.. Or, as you said, I may have gotten a dud, so to anyone that got this card, do let us know about the performance you see on your devices.
@@SamBondor Tested one in my OMEN 16 AMD win11 laptop with my RT-AX86Pro on a 160MHz Ch and got ~1.8Gb/s, upload/download. I also notice the BT driver 1.1037.0.433 has LE isochronous stream as "false". so no LE audio?
Judging by the reviews of other content creators, I am fairly sure that only Android supports MLO at this point. Neither Windows, nor Linux worked for me, and I am just going to guess that MacOS is not there either.
The Filogic 360 module uses Bluetooth 5.4, so I concluded that the MT7925 supports this version. I didn't find any sources that Mediatek said otherwise.
As of my experience that windows version of iperf3 is not recommended by Microsoft, better use nttcp instead. But still mediatek device is more or less have some bugs in their firmware.
Thank you for pointing it out. I didn't have any issues with the Qualcomm and the Intel adapters when using iperf3, so it's something specific to Mediatek. I assume that it's the adapter driver that doesn't handle well the flow of traffic from a tool such as iperf. I will test it out with nttcp and will let you know if things get better.
OK, so I had some time to burn and tried out the ntttcp on both the AMD and the Intel system, both using Windows 11. The AMD PC shows similar throughput values to when I used iperf3 and the Intel PC driver crashed several times during the test. So, it's the same performance regardless of the tool, it's a Mediatek and Windows OS driver issue and maybe an EnGenius and Ubiquiti incompatibility as well.
no... NO... i had a few mediatek wifi card and they was all garbage. 10 years later they still doesn't have support for linux without proprietary drivers and they have drop out and use weird drivers on windows... so no, intel cards have a way better support,are more reliable and works on linux out of the box. so no don't fall for a mediatek wifi card (or phone...).
bro i have mediatek wifi 6e card in my msi alpha 15 laptop to be precise RZ608 80 MHZ and it is shit card it constantly performs bad in valorant game gives unstable ping spike can you tell some solution or recommend some wifi card.....
@@SurajThakur-xw3dt anything intel based will be better. every intel wifi 6 card i had just worked perfectly out of the box.some of them can be really cheap on ali express.
