Netgear M7 Ultra (MR7500) - WiFi MLO / NR-DC

Hi team, 

 

I have a Netgear M7 Ultra (MR7500) and have been testing it around Sydney on both Telstra and Optus. 

 

I have a couple of questions:

 

  • MLO (Multi-Link Operation) doesn't seem to be enabled? Does anyone know when an update might be pushed to enable it? Using iperf3, I hit a maximum of 1.7Gbit/s over WiFi (under testing conditions) so MLO would be of a significant benefit.
  • 6GHz WiFi seems buggy. Using 6GHz by itseld (on 320MHz channels) means other devices cannot connect. I've tried multiple devices: Pixel 9 Pro XL and a couple of laptops with Intel BE adaptors. Has anyone else experienced this? 
  • NR-DC doesn't seem to be enabled. I have standalone access on my carrier SIM, and have been at cellular sites that are capable of NR-DC, but the M7 Ultra doesn't seem to support it. 
  • The USB-C port seems to limit throughput to ~2Gbit/s. testing mmWave sites that are capable of >4Gbit/s, and the M7 seems to max out at 2Gbit/s. 

Hopefully someone from Netgear or the community can shed some light. Happy to help and perform any additional testing as required. 

 

Kind regards,

DayveAU
