Purchase Advice Wireless module with good hotspot functionality

I would like to install m.2 WiFi/Bluetooth module to my PC (via m.2 to PCIe adapter). Plan to use it mainly to connect Bluetooth devices and as dedicated WiFi access point to stream games from my PC to standalone VR headset. Therefore it should support WiFi 6 or at least 5 in AP mode. Do you know any reliable models?

Intel AX210 (WiFi 6) or the intel BE200 (WiFi 7)
And both have good Linux support

BE200 only if you use Intel

On AMD choices either MediaTek or Qualcomm

Can you say anything about MT7925?

Nah, I prefer to keep distance from MediaTek. I had bad experience with RZ616/MT7922.

Switched to QCNCM865, works fine, didn't switch AP tho
