Has anyone tried installing an Intel BE200 to replace their Intel AX210 Wi-Fi? How did it go? Any compatibility issues? in c/[email protected]

Followed up with ASRock asking if AMD support was something that may come in the future and they said:

We have reported the problem to AMD but currently AMD motherboard do not support Wi-Fi 7. Supporting Wi-Fi 7 depends on AMD’s plan, if AMD plans to support Wi-Fi 7 in the future, it will be announced on the website.

Tested in my OptiPlex 7060 with i5 8500. Worked fine. Just had to install the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers from the Intel website as they're not built into Windows or available through Windows Update yet.

So it seems on Intel platforms, the BE2000 is a drop-in replacement. AMD, for some reason, not so much.

Tried in my ASrock X570M Pro4. No go. Doesn't POST. So weird.
I've got an OptiPlex 7060. Will try one in there and see how I go.

I contacted ASRock regarding the compatibility of my AMD X570-based ASRock motherboard. According to them, the BE200 Wi-Fi card only works with 600 and 700 series Intel chipsets/platforms, and that AMD platforms do not support Intel Wi-Fi 7 cards.

I've got two on the way anyway. I'll give it a go, and if it doesn't work, I'll re-sell on eBay hopefully for a small profit as I got a pretty good deal from Mouser on these.
