MSI Networking
MSI’s networking hardware is aimed at the same person as its motherboards and graphics cards — someone building or upgrading a desktop.
PCIe Wi-Fi cards are the main part of the range, and they are the better way to add wireless to a tower. A PCIe card uses external antennas that can be positioned away from the metal case, which makes a real difference to signal strength compared with a USB dongle sitting behind the machine. The range covers Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7.
USB adapters are the simpler option for a laptop or a machine you would rather not open.
The Roamii mesh system covers whole-home Wi-Fi 7 with multiple units on a single network name.
When choosing, remember an adapter cannot be faster than the router it connects to — a Wi-Fi 7 card on a Wi-Fi 5 router runs at Wi-Fi 5 speeds. Match the two, or plan to upgrade both.

What does this networking product do?
