The Intel Wi-Fi 7 BE211 is a wireless network adapter with an M.2 2230 (CNVio3) connector that supports the latest Wi-Fi 7 (IEEE 802.11be) standard with a maximum data transfer rate of 5.8 Gbps. It also has Bluetooth 6.0 support, so it provides versatile connectivity options.

The adapter is compatible with the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands (Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7) and works with 2x2 MU-MIMO technology, which enables simultaneous data streams to multiple devices. The Multi-Link Operation (MLO) function ensures an even faster and more reliable connection.

In terms of security, it uses WPA3-Personal and WPA3-Enterprise encryption and a 256-bit AES-GCMP algorithm. Supported operating systems: Windows 10, Windows 11 and Linux. Its weight is only 3.07 grams, and its operating temperature is between 0 and 50 °C.

This network card is a CRF (Companion RF) module that uses Intel's proprietary CNVio3 interface. The hardware logic responsible for network processing is integrated into the computer's processor, the card only contains the radio transceiver.

Supported platforms: Only compatible with Intel Core Ultra (Meteor Lake, Arrow Lake, Panther Lake) and Intel Core 14th generation (or later) processors and dedicated Intel chipsets.

What is not supported: Does NOT work in AMD processor systems and is NOT compatible with older (Intel 13th generation or earlier) configurations, even if the connector physically matches!
