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...

    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.
