As a user, I'm well aware of the state of OpenBSD's wireless stack. It's slower than the competition, but it's not 650kb/s slow.

Its a Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265NGW (ThinkPad x250) running with 802.11/g (the maximum), with the right driver and firmware. Sitting about 5m from the hotspot.

BTW: The hardware is supported:

https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?iwm(4)

>device iwm7265fw

>Currently, iwm only supports 802.11b and 802.11g modes.

>iwm7265Dfw_load="YES" -> This one works

>iwm7265fw_load="YES" -> This one is not working

I would say OpenBSD is as behind as every single BSD is...from the Wireless standpoint.
