MSI Herald-BE WI-FI 7 MAX (Wi-Fi 7, 802.11BE, Bluetooth 5.4, PCIe, Multi-Link Operation Technology, External Antenna)

quality part and worth the money. it works well and has a really strong signal all the way from my computer to the router across the house. provides fast internet and the card is easy and fast to install.

I had to fight with this card to get it to finally give me a good outcome.. The first thing i learned is that my older system xeon e5-2699 does not like to connect to 6ghz and 5ghz at the same time under wifi 802.11be. BUT i was able to find a way to get it to still give me an awesome outcome. look at pictures for setting i have made. i first tried wifi 7 and it woud connect only with 5ghz and 2.4ghz with multi link. 1032mbps/1032mbps. when i changed preferred band to 6ghz and the wireless mode to wifi 6 802.11ax it would connect to 6ghz twice at 2401mbps/2401mbps. my internet is t-mobile 5g . you can see that i was able to get a download speed of 1120mbps and upload of 190mbps. i have seen uploads over 220mbps also.. before i had this card i was only using 1g ethernet and never got anything faster then 935mbps downloads. hope this info help anyone out that already has this card or is wanting to buy one... bluetooth works good as long as you have a 2.0 header on your MB. i also was only able to use a pcie 3 gen slot for the 1x card... seems to work good and i am overall pleased with the speeds i am getting using this card. also make sure you have ipv4 and ipv6 enabled..

Easy to install and good product, not at all reverse compatible to windows 10.

This Wi-Fi card performed much better than I expected. The signal range is noticeably stronger and my internet speeds increased immediately after installation. The connection is stable and fast, even in areas where the signal used to be weak. One thing to note: it didn’t work on Windows 10 for me. I had to upgrade my PC to Windows 11, and after that it installed instantly and worked perfectly. So just keep compatibility in mind. Overall, it’s a high-quality Wi-Fi 7 card with excellent performance. I’m very satisfied with it.

Cards like this are mostly just a simple adapter for connecting the underlying WiFi+Bluetooth chip to your computer - PCI Express x1 for the WiFi, and a little USB pin cable for the Bluetooth. As such, there's only 4 ways that they're meaningfully different: 1. The chip. There are two WiFi 7 chips generally considered the best on the market today. The standard advice is "get the Qualcomm if you have an AMD processor, or the Intel if you have an Intel processor." This is the Qualcomm one. My system is AMD on Windows 11, and I've had no issues with it at all. 2. The included antenna. It's not exactly small, but not huge either. The magnetic base is convenient, but also pretty standard for these. It does what it needs to. 3. The drivers. Others have mentioned here that downloading the drivers off MSI's site is a better option than the included disc - which is unfortunate because "downloading" is why you buy one of these things in the first place. I can't really take points off for this, as I didn't even try the drivers on the disc, but keep it in mind if you don't have access to another computer and a thumb drive. 4. The price. It may not be true when you read this, but as of 2026-01-30 this is the cheapest I've seen for a WiFi 7 card. If you have an AMD system and a way to get ahold of the drivers, just get this one. It won't disappoint.

Gonna crash out for a minute, here's my story with the MSI Herald-BE card. For reference, I spent the better part of a decade in IT/systems before changing professions (couldn't handle any more network printer error tickets), so hopefully my troubleshooting can help save someone else a headache. If not, TL;DR is at the bottom. I spent the better part of tonight trying to get this card to work in my wife's gaming PC. Brand-spankin'-new, fast modern technology. Fire up the PC, Wi-fi picks right up, but no BT. Probably a driver right? Pick up the driver from MSI, run the setup and get a "no suitable drivers" error. Ok, weird. Double check the connection for the provided cable between the card and the board, it's in there. Check device manager, nothing showing with errors. Use the included driver CD (gross, literally had to find my external CD drive) and ran the setup, only detects the Wi-fi portion. Check the support page on MSI (again) and sure enough the BT should be showing up separately from the Wi-fi for drivers. Restart and check BIOS to make sure nothing dumb happened; USB port is active. Restart and go to ASUS for motherboard drivers (ASUS Prime X570-P is the part). Search for chipset drivers and restart, still nothing. I start looking on forums for issues with this card. Most of the "BT not working" trouble was from people not realizing you have to plug the USB cable to your mobo, then it works no problem. Not working for me, so I dive deeper. Cross reference the mobo with this card and there's TWO posts about it (which is 2 more than I expected). One post refers to the other as a solution, so I cross my fingers and read the thread. A few people with the same mobo are trying to figure out what's going on with the USB connections. One user starts testing between the two USB connection ports on the board and finds that one of them works flawlessly, the other not at all. Changes to another device, same outcome, so it sounds like the port. I check the port number (USB11 if you're wondering), that's the port I'm having an issue with too! Sweet hallelujah, we're getting somewhere! Not the somewhere I wanna be, but still it's progress. Since I am using the other mobo port for the USB ports on the PC case itself, I'm stuck figuring out what's up with this second port in particular. Further on someone posts a link to the mobo manual, calls out the page for the USB port connections on the board, and tells everyone to look it over. I get to the page and confirm that's what I'm looking at on my own board, but a bunch of "NC"'s catch my eye on the pin description section. I go back to the forum, and the user explains the NC ports mean there's no connection. NO. CONNECTION. THEY LITERALLY DIDN'T WIRE THE BOTTOM PINS ON THIS BOARD. /sigh So I look back at the cable just like the forum users and sure enough, the one provided with the Wi-Fi card uses the lower "NC" pins. Well, at least I know why nothing is detecting. I keep reading on the forum and a few users noted that it's simple enough to just move the wires on the provided cable from the bottom to the top pins, so I give that a shot. It was easier than I expected, and my hopes rise. I plug everything back in; adjusted pin connection to the mobo and original connection to the Wi-Fi card. Fire the PC up and WE HAVE AN UNKNOWN DEVICE! Surely this has solved it. I pat myself on the back, down my Red Bull, and click the BT driver setup once again. I breathe a sigh of relief as the software loads and I click the "Install" button....and nothing happens. The button is greyed out...."No suitable drivers"... This....can't be happening....I take another breath, but this time I'm nervous. I go back to device manager and tell it to update manually, selecting my driver folder. No change. I run the driver CD software, does not detect the BT. I go BACK to the mobo manual and look over the pin values, then double check that I moved the right color wires into the right pins. I spent a few minutes learning about USB cable colors and their corresponding functions (power vs data) to make sure. I got it right, everything aligns. I shut the PC down and pull the cable out again. Maybe I needed to move the wires on both ends of the cable? Worth a shot right? I move the wires just like before and everything lines up just as it did, now just on the top row of pins for both ends of the cable. I triple check and make sure the wires are pushed all the way in, everything feels good. I plug the cable back in and fire up the rig, going straight into device manager. The unknown device is gone! HALLELUJAH! It's gone! It's gone.....it's gone? Where is it? No "Bluetooth" device is listed, nothing new showing up under network adapters...what? I check the cables one last time, they're firmly seated. I swap the ends between the card and the board, scan for changes, nothing. Wi-fi worked the entire time. I am 100% at a loss here, and I know this is absolutely due to the fact that the pins are not connected on that mobo port. TL;DR the MSI Herald-BE Wi-Fi/Bluetooth card isn't compatible with the ASUS PRIME X570-P motherboard because ASUS is cheap and/or stupid.

amazing, works as intended and took under 10 minutes to install after looking at my motherboard manual; fyi the cable they provided you with plugs into a usb connector on your motherboard. I am very happy with this product. Tripled my internet speed from where I am and lowered both my bluetooth and wifi latency. If you have an old or outdated wifi adapter, I would recommend getting this one as it is both affordable and great value.

When I finally got it working, went from 200Mbps using motherboard wifi to over 600Mbps on the 5GHz channel on a 1Gbps line. Windows would not detect card on a PCIe x4 slot. Had to lower the speed to x2 in the BIOS to get board recognized and then I could install the drivers. Once the drivers were installed I could set the PCIe speed to auto again. Not happy with lack of info about the slot speed but it works great now. Oh, and why does it include a driver DVD? This is 2026 and a latest technology component. Would lower the review but wow the speed is good.

Es bastante bueno, sin embargo también es bastante grande... El case es mas grande de lo esperado, es bonito, pero grande, se batalla un poco para conectar el cable de usb por la carcasa

I didn't research enough, In all honesty that's my bad. The wifi card is very good and complaints about Bluetooth are easily mitigated by actually downloading the driver(wifi and Bluetooth are separate drivers. Go to msi's website for this product) But it only works on windows 11, that's no real fault of MSI, windows 10 just doesn't support wifi 7. I do wish there was a way to use this card on those operating systems, even if it was just capping it st wifi6 speed. But I tried installing the driver and had no luck on windows 10. I have to assume the same for Linux unfortunately. I would return it, again, no fault of MSI themselves, but I'm outside of the refund window. So now im stuck either running windows 11 or with an expensive PCI-E paperweight. Connection speed is solid and consistent, no issues there. Compatbility is just a pain right now.

Produto excelente, muito bom o alcance. Melhorou muito a estabilidade do sinal em meu computador. Detalhe importante que achei interessante, a base é imantada pra quem quiser colocar em cima do PC, mas ela tem 2 furos para suporte em parede.

most powerful wifi7 adapter so far
