Preamble Puncturing feature in RS700- Nighthawk Triband WIFI 7 AP

Question

Hi&nbsp;I have been using this Netgear access point for a while&nbsp;BE19000 WiFi Router (RS700S)&nbsp;Nighthawk Tri-Band WiFi 7 Router, 19Gbps, 10 Gig Ports with 1-year NETGEAR Armor™. I want to check the preamble puncture mode. I observed that the "Disabled Subchannel Bitmap" is 0 but as per the IEEE BE draft, if puncture is detected the AP will enable the bit. Even after creating interference in the adjacent sub channels with different STA for 20Mhz, 40Mhz the bit is still 0. Can someone help me understand whether NS 700S provides support for the preamble puncture ?&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks&nbsp;

Sorry, I have to correct my response. Regarding the&nbsp;preamble puncturing (Multi-RU) function, we are not certain if we will support it on RS700.

Hi,
RS700 currently does not support the preamble puncturing (Multi-RU) function. We've been working on it and aim to release the firmware soon, but I cannot share the schedule. If you are interested in testing some trial builds, I can arrange to send you internal releases. Thanks.

Thanks for the quick update regarding that. Are there any Netgear WiFi7 AP models that supports preamble puncturing feature and i have WAX-630 Nergear 6GHz access point will that support the puncturing in AX level?

The preamble puncturing feature is a WiFi 7 function, it is not supported on WiFi 6 or WiFi 6E.
May I know your use case for the preamble puncturing? how do you want to use it on a router or AP? Thanks.

But the AX standard defined the Preamble puncture feature. I wanted to check how the Preamble Puncture Rx bit under HE cap and HE MU PPDU are changing when there is puncture detection if it is implemented in the AP.&nbsp;
