Wi-Fi struggled in Team Pandory’s test
Team Pandory could not complete an online speed test using the original Intel AX200 wireless card in his setup. Replacing it with a MediaTek RZ616 allowed the test to run. This differs from Robtech’s experience; their networks and units were not tested under identical conditions.
