Has anyone tried installing an Intel BE200 to replace their Intel AX210 Wi-Fi? How did it go? Any compatibility issues? (alien.top)

I use Windows 11 most of the time and sometimes Ubuntu 23.04 (will update to 23.10 later). I know Windows 11 should support it (assuming latest versions). Since Ubuntu 23.10 uses the latest 6.5 Linux kernel, which brings Wi-Fi7 support, it seems to be able to support it too. I'm just unsure about the hardware part and the overall compatibility. (I'm on 13th gen i7-1360P)

Edit: I don't have high hopes

Seems like it may not work

I’ll email framework about this, see if I can get an official statement from then and have them update the list of compatible Wi-Fi cards

Attempted a replacement in my Legion 7 Gen 6 AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX, Nvidia 3080/16GB and it failed to post. Swapped back to the old MediaTek that it came with and I was at login within a few seconds.

So do we have no options for a Wifi7 upgrade with AMD?

This is a real bummer. $750 router sitting in the other room and I can't even stretch its legs without an intel based system.
