Tested mt7615 card on r4,i guess 7915/6 does also work,but have not tested.

Be careful with sw4…must be off for non r4wifi cards before poweron.

Some listed their cards here:

Banana Pi BPI-R4 Wifi 7 router board with MediaTek MT7988A (Filogic 880),4G RAM and 8G eMMC

I have been using 2 R4 running the code from the WIP on github with one AsiaRF MT7916 card each on 6GHz and achieved stable performance of ~1.5Gbps across the table (also tested the same setup with one AX210 card as client on the R4 and worked perfectly but slightly lower performance of ~1.2Gbps and a Pixel 7 also with similar results).

AsiaRF miniPCIe cards based on the MT7916 (Mediatek) chipsets seem to be the way to go.

Oh, that’s right. They are sold directly by Asiarf on their homepage. Check the linked thread for the links to the minipcie and m.2 versions.
