Thanks CrimpOn for the heads-up about the new firmware update!
I’ve just now installed the latest RS700S Firmware Version 1.0.9.16 (released 20 Oct 2025), but unfortunately there’s still no sign of Multi-Link Operation (MLO) anywhere in the wireless configuration or advanced settings.
Even after a full reboot and checking every Wi-Fi band and advanced menu, there’s still no toggle or reference to MLO as a feature.
It would be great if netgear Team or a moderator could please step in and clarify where things stand regarding MLO support on the RS700 / RS700S.
Many of us have been patiently waiting for an update, and a brief comment or roadmap from NETGEAR would really help set expectations.

So true. Alas, in eight years of being part of the Community Forum, there have been very few times when anyone posted who was identified as a Netgear employee. My impression is that support and engineering staff are assigned to tasks rather than to browsing what customers are talking about. Moderators are tasked with keeping the Forum operating, and thus have no insight into what the engineers are doing.
p.s. I sent you a private message.
