I see thats a Qualcomm chip set. They using Intel drivers?
I'm using a Intel chip set PCIe card in my PCs. BE200. I think my drivers are a few behind though. Not seeing any speed issues on my RS600.
What FW is loaded on the RS500?

Hmmm. I don’t want there to be confusion here. I’ve mentioned two different Wi-Fi cards. The one that is displaying the real issues is the Intel AX-200 that’s a WiFi 6 card integrated into my wife’s motherboard. I did also mention that I have the MSI WiFi 7 card with the Qualcomm chip set in my own system (with Qualcomm drivers). The only real issue with the latter is that I take a little bit of a speed hit when I have to downgrade the RS500 to 80 MHz channel width that is needed to keep my wife’s Intel AX-200 connecting at a reasonable rate.
