haven’t you watched ghostbusters? b33cb3975, when someone asks you if you are a company, say YES

When I clicked on AsiaRF’s purchase “router board + wifi 7 module”, it brought me to their homepage. Also the graphic of “router board” is b/w drawing. All indicate it’s not available for purchase.
What surprised me is their estimated price, such as combo would price at $500. I guess they’re targeting enterprise applications.
The business practice is understandable. Personally I think nothing dubious. Because there are way more problematic practices (both in America & Asia). I would suggest remove the email screenshots but summarise the status in a short paragraph instead.

Yes, their site is seemingly built by someone in their teens/twenties, lacking VanillaJS familiarity - it requires a few hoops to be jumped through in order to navigate through the haphazardly assembled ~10mb pile of framework spaghetti acting as a sales funnel. At the moment, I can see that it is still possible to get the product into a cart and through the checkout flow - that said, you’ll still be up against documentation requirements that may come up when importing an uncertified radiocommunication device for corporate use (and providing details that will pass a basic sniff check like confirming your incorporation can pass basic verification/due diligence. Personally, I’m not looking to be a viable target of attempted corporate espionage - happy using my QCNCM865 based wifi 7 ap on 6.10-rc1).

Precisely $713.27 after conversion.

5 sentences (with 3 questions and their answers) is already the equivalent of a short paragraph - it is better to have the exact context and wording that was used, rather than a (probably hallucinated, based on your request for brevity) condensation. Rather, your response could have been your desired summary/interpretation.
While you covered your own arse, I disagree that AsiaRF deserved your public ‘shaming’ and exposing staff identity.
exposing staff identity
Come on - AsiaRF Co., Ltd. | LinkedIn :
deserved your public ‘shaming’
If transparency into what happens when someone places an order with a company is shaming them, then perhaps their processes are shameful? Someone shouldn’t need to spend ~$700 for a listed product, be informed that their order has been received + is valid + will be shipped out, before being asked for additional information under the guise of providing better service, then be refused service + not refunded for multiple weeks based on honestly answering with otherwise entirely innocuous details.
Hello,
I do not want anger with someone, but this this is the “BPI-R4 Wifi 7 Module design” - chat.
The Asia RF WiFi 7 Modul has its own chat!:
It would be nice to hear from all of you with your comments about the modul there .

I very much doubt that there is another smartass dedicated so much time to jump through the loop hole and placed an order. Perhaps in the process you got irritated by the time you wasted? Let it go. Do the honour while covering your own ass, cover the staff identity at least. Grow up, young man

Some time has passed, how are things going with the wifi 7 module with 14 antennas?
i guess those will not arrive before end of the year, if at all. the current 6-antenna-cards are already sold, the new batch is coming in about 6 weeks. and all this is still in testing. if you are familiar with debian: “its done when its done”.
sorry I am a bit lost, where and how is it possible to place order for any type of WIFI 7 card which will be available after 6 weeks ?
the 6 weeks information is something i received, its not a bullet proof information! and how should you order something thats not available yet? thats simply not possible.

I just received the package containing the wifi7 card. wondering now if there is any cooling required on the chip of the wifi card?
On the installation video (https://youtu.be/hg5pSbc_C68?si=TdwO1sn6e-xL4FO1) they add thermal pads between the wifi chips and the metal case. So did you get thermal pads in your package ? I should also receive my card in the next 2 days.

perfect, thanks, thats what i was looking for 
Hello Gents
I don’t have good experience with OpenWRT,I added BPI-R4 Wifi 7 Module and 5G Module(RM520N-GL) to my board BPI-R4 , and the link below describes how to use QMI modem. https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wan/wwan/ltedongle
I am unable to upgrade my openwrt package by following the instructions outlined here: [OpenWrt Wiki] How to use LTE modem in QMI mode for WAN connection.
Also, no output comes when I select wifi configuration under the MTK menu tab.
Could you please help me to activate both the Wi-Fi7 and 5G modules?
OpenWrt Firmware:
OpenWrt 21.02-SNAPSHOT unknown / LuCI openwrt-21.02
For the WiFi 7 NIC did you toggle the switch to have 12V on the mini PCIe slots ?
Thanks a lot, really appreciate your help, i can see now the output comes in wifi configuration under the MTK menu tab,
Now the remaining is 5G module , it doesn’t work,

I’m already confused. Banana pi bpi-r4 is only compatible with Banana Pi BPI-R4 Wifi 7 Module or can it accommodate an AsiaRF module with 14 antennas? Are they compatible?
And one more question, the firmware selector openwrt displays banana pi bpi-r4 and banana pi bpi-r4 2.5ge, is this another version of banana? I ordered Banana Pi BPI-R4 from aliexpress ()https://aliexpress.ru/item/1005006993893597.html?spm=a2g2w.orderdetail.0.0.e3384aa6y2YgWc&sku_id=12000038982259922, which version of openwrt should I install?
