Features:
WIFI7 is the latest 7th generation WIFI with faster speeds than previous generations of WIFI. And there will be more and more WIFI7 wireless routers, WIFI7 network cards and other devices.
The ZP590B is an adapter board with PCIe interface for WIFI7, allowing Raspberry Pi 5 motherboard to use the latest WIFI7 module. The WIFI7 module can be inserted into the ZP590B adapter board via the M.2 E-KEY interface, which provides an opportunity for a wide range of Raspberry Pi 5 users to be able to use the latest WIFI7.
At present, Ubuntu supports wireless network cards of WIFI7 WIFI6(E) WIFI5, which can be used without installing drivers. The currently supported network cards include BE200, 8265C, AX200, AX210, MT7922.
To use the WiFi7/6/6E/5 wireless network cards, the Raspberry Pi OS needs to install a driver, it depends on how familiar you are with the wifi driver and Raspberry Pi OS. We have instructions about driver BE200, AX200, AX210.
The ZP590B acts as an adapter board between the WIFI7 WIFI6(E) WIFI5 module and the Raspberry Pi 5 motherboard. The performance of the wireless depends on the Raspberry Pi 5 motherboard, the operating system and the wireless module.
Packing List:
1 × PCIE to Wi-Fi7 Expansion Board
2 × WIFI Antenna
1 × PCIe FFC cable
1 × Screws Pack
Note: The Raspberry Pi 5 and WIFI module are not included.

I'd recommend this for more intermediate users of Pi hardware, but it's well made, works well, and fit our needs just fine.
The item itself is compatible with the Pi5, and possibly others.
It connected well and smoothly and worked out fine.
Standard quality on the PCB itself while the installation was easy and fits the Pi 5 perfectly exceeding expectations. Currently using a Wifi6 board until Wifi7 becomes more affordable. The adapter does need some additions to the bootconfig file depending on the image you use for to boot the Pi5. The wifi6 module I have installed does run at full speed and appears to be very compatible with it. Overall being able to expand past the built in wifi of the Pi 5 is desirable for using it as a video kiosk without wiring it in for example. I look forward to getting my wifi7 module to test this further and will update should I run into compatibility issues. Overall recommended!
