WiFi 7 PCIe card that function as a strong access point and a hotspot - not a cliient alone

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


I’m looking for a card that is:

  1. Ideally half height so that it will fit into the Minisforum MS-A2.
  2. Ample antennas, something ins the range of 6 would be okay, the more the better.
  3. I’m on an AMD system and apparently I should avoid an Intel WiFi card. People have suggested MediaTek and some have suggested Qualcomm.

I basically want this, https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006281940876.html?isdl=y&aff_fsk=_okdZLNy&src=RedbrainUK4&aff_platform=aff_feeds&aff_short_key=_okdZLNy&pdp_npi=4%40dis!GBP!97.59!97.59!!!!!%40!12000046486913399!afff!!!&dp=CjwKCAjw6P3GBhBVEiwAJPjmLh4p7VpULSy-gMH96xv9y4LRvNMHzTrH5BO1C5jSFRAzCqzxgxVxOhoCccAQAvD_BwE but I just need the WiFi 7 module. Looking at module I don’t think I can find it in a PCIe slot.

However that won’t fit into the MS-A2.

Any recommendations, folks?

I don’t want to try the Banana PI WiFi router, I prefer ame64 machine and I want video output as well.

Sorry if this is on the correct forum to ask, hopefully someone can tell me where to put, if that is the case.

Regards, Bana

i dont understand your question. if you have a minisforum ms-a2 then you should probably contact minisforum for compatible wifi cards that support wifi7. the ms-a2 states on the tech spec that it supports wifi6e, so i am wondering why you want to go with wifi7. contact minisforum about the exact spec of the pcie 16x slot and then you can search for a compatible wifi7 pcie card. i assume something like mt7925 might work or something like NCM865
