Full Band Support: Both QCN9074 and QCN9024 support 2.4Ghz, 5Ghz, and 6Ghz full band, providing flexibility for various applications.

4.9Ghz Support: QCN9074 supports 4.9Ghz, while QCN9024 does not support this frequency range.

Operating Mode: Both network cards support AP&Client operating mode, which allows them to function as both access points and clients.

Maximum Connected Clients: QCN9074 supports up to 512 maximum connected clients, while QCN9024 supports up to 256 maximum connected clients.

MU-OFDMA DL/UL: QCN9074 supports up to 37 users per PPDU, while QCN9024 supports up to 16 users per PPDU.

Both Qualcomm QCN9074 and QCN9024 offer similar features and are suitable for a variety of wireless applications. The main differences between the two are the frequency range and maximum connected clients supported. If you require support for 4.9Ghz or need to connect more than 256 clients, then QCN9074 would be the better choice. However, if these features are not essential to your needs, then QCN9024 may be a more cost-effective option.
