Wi-Fi 7 tri-band desktop adapter

The Wavlink WN685BE3-A adds Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 to a desktop PC through a PCIe x1 slot. It uses the Intel BE200 chipset and supports the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands with a combined link rate of 8774 Mbps. The card requires Windows 10 or 11 64-bit and a 9-pin header for Bluetooth power. It is not compatible with AMD motherboards.

For Windows desktops needing 6 GHz access

This adapter suits builders who want tri-band Wi-Fi 7 on a Windows 10 or 11 system and have a free PCIe slot. It does not suit users on Linux, macOS or older Windows versions. It also does not suit anyone with an AMD motherboard or a laptop, and it cannot add Wi-Fi 7 to a router that lacks 6 GHz support.

8774 Mbps total link rate across three bands

The 6 GHz band delivers up to 5800 Mbps, the 5 GHz band up to 2400 Mbps and the 2.4 GHz band up to 574 Mbps. Real throughput depends on the router, channel width, obstacles and client capability. The 6 GHz band requires Windows 11; on Windows 10 only the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands are available.

Questions about this item

Do I need a free PCIe slot on my motherboard to install the WN685BE3-A?

Yes, the adapter fits any PCIe x1, x4, x8 or x16 slot on a desktop motherboard.

Will my existing 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz router work with the WN685BE3-A tri-band adapter?

The card supports 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be, so it connects to legacy 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks as well as new 6 GHz ones.

How can I confirm the WN685BE3-A is linked at Wi-Fi 7 speeds after setup?

The single Link LED lights when a connection is active; check the OS network status for the negotiated rate up to 5800 Mbps on 6 GHz.
