This is the time and age of RTX GPUs, Intel Arcs, and RX GPUs, you're gonna get called "unc" for wanting to use Wireless N hardware in 2026. Shit, people put Wireless AX cards into old laptops now like the X220 to keep them usable longer.
Other than the firmware Intel Wi-Fi drivers are solid.

@sendpaws@mitra.pawslut.party @phnt@fluffytail.org Just because degeneracy exists doesn't mean you should fall for it. Dual or tri band 802.11n is plenty fast for wireless - if you need speed, obviously you need the proper solution of 1000BASE-T. Intel Wi-Fi cards are hot garbage and never worked properly - intel seriously handcuffs the peripheral software to stop you from fixing it.
