MLO and RS700S router

Have any of you been able to get MLO installed on the RS700S router? I am still waiting for netgear to release MLO for the RS700S router. Let me know if MLO is available yet.

Thanks, Matt

  • You don't install MLO. MLO is a FW feature of the router and wifi devices that have MLO features encoded into there HW and FW. Ya, Still waiting on MLO support for the RS series. 

  • I would be surprised if MLO is even coming in 2025...

      Only half way thru the year. Anything is possible. Ya, still asking about it. 

  • What test would a person perform to determine whether MLO is present on a WiFi7 router?

      Having a supporing MLO BE supporing wifi adapter. 

      On Orbi BE systems the BE supporting wifi device would be seen connecting at the router on WiFi using both 5+6Ghz status on the routers web page. Currently only showing a single connection, SLO, either 5Ghz or 6Ghz.

      Also seen in Windows 11 wifi status, windows reports both 5Ghz and 6Ghz connection if MLO is present.

        Thanks for the link and confirmation. It is the Windows report that "counts" for me.  (What the router displays could simply be incorrect.)  I guess there is no consequence for false advertising.  (publishing on Netgear web pages that the RS products support MLO and describing MLO in the User Manuals)
