Seeking update: client-side MLO on RS600 (Nighthawk WiFi 7)
Hi everyone, I'm trying to find out whether Multi-Link Operation (MLO) for client devices will be enabled on the RS600. I remember reading some comments about MLO coming to the RS700, but so far none of the RS600 firmware release notes (up to v1.0.5.12, Aug 2025) mention it. My support case #49306330 only yielded "no ETA". I have an RS600 running 1.0.5.12 here in France, and devices like the iPhone 17 Pro support Wi‑Fi 7 with MLO. Without MLO, a client can only use one band at a time, which limits throughput and increases latency. Competing vendors’ Wi‑Fi 7 routers (ASUS/TP‑Link) already support client MLO, and Netgear’s own Orbi 970 uses MLO on the backhaul. Is client-side MLO on the roadmap for RS600? If so, can Netgear give an approximate timeframe (beta or final)? It would be great if the RS600 could provide unified SSID MLO across 5 GHz and 6 GHz for devices that support it. Thanks!RS600 dropping connection, rebooting randomly...
I've had this RS 600 and it's been terrible. Very inconsistent wifi speeds, I tried manually changing channels, and the 5g line kept dropping out. Then today, the entire router crashed and was down for 5 minutes during a critical internet call. I'm on an experimental firmware 1.0.5.113 I spent a LOT on this router to get something reliable... and so far, this is not being that.
