RS500 hidden advanced setting enables MLO
Not sure why Netgear chose to hide the advanced wireless settings revealed through the F12 browser display link mod. I can confirm that only the MLO setting works in my RS500 router when toggled ON, ...

NG keeps the MLO feature hidden until such time as they have fully developed MLO for the RS series. They are working on it and it's not ready as of yet. No idea when. I'll keep checking.
So the WEB UI code is make to hide the UI feature as it is a placeholder only for when the actual MLO feature IS ready to be deployed and enabled by NG.
My two Intel BE200 series work with MLO with my Orbi BE series MLO supporting systems.
Also my Iphone 17 is working with MLO as well.

The Intel BE200 only support the eMLSR version of MLO. This means they can't use multiple frequencies at the same time, and only have the version of ML that can "sense" which one is open to swap to dynamically.

They connect at 5 and 6Ghz at the same time.

But the Intel BE200 can only transmit or receive through only one frequency and not capable of simultaneous data transfer through both frequencies as per eMLSR technology.

Where do you see this at?

The product specifications explicitly state eLMSR instead of MLMR for the MLO variant supported.
The BE200 will see/report connections to multiple bands, but it will not see a speed upgrade.

No Intel wifi 7 cards currently support MLMR MLO.
