Frequently Asked Questions

Will this WiFi 7 card work in my motherboard's M.2 slot?

No. The EDUP BE6500 is a PCIe card and needs a standard PCIe x1, x4, x8, or x16 slot. EDUP states it is not compatible with Mini PCIe or M.2 CNVio2 slots.

Do I need a Wi-Fi 7 router to use this card?

To hit the advertised tri-band speeds and use Multi-Link Operation you need a Wi-Fi 7 router broadcasting 6GHz. The card still connects on 2.4GHz and 5GHz with older routers, at those bands' rates.

Does it fit a small form factor case?

Yes. EDUP includes both a low-profile and a full-height bracket in the box, so the card mounts in SFF chassis and standard mid-towers without buying an adapter.

Does this card work on Linux?

EDUP lists Linux kernel 6.7 and newer as supported, using the MediaTek MT7925 chipset. Older kernels are not listed as compatible, so check your distribution's kernel version first.

How do I install the drivers?

EDUP directs you to download the current driver from szedup.com/pcie-adapters/EPBE9726.html. Disable your PC's built-in Bluetooth before installing so the card's Bluetooth 5.4 radio does not conflict with the onboard stack.
