MLO stands for Multi-Link Operation, a core feature of Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) technology. It enables devices to transmit and receive data simultaneously across multiple frequency bands (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz) and channels for improved performance.
Key Characteristics of MLO:
• Band Aggregation: Combines throughput from multiple bands (e.g., 5 GHz + 6 GHz) for higher speeds and reduced latency.
• Dual Modes:
• STR (Simultaneous Transmit and Receive): Operates links independently across bands for concurrent data transfer.
• EMLSR (Enhanced Multi-Link Single Radio): Optimizes dynamic switching between bands for efficiency in unstable environments.
• Use Cases: Ideal for latency-sensitive applications like 4K/8K streaming, VR/AR, and cloud gaming.
Requirements:
• Wi-Fi 7 Support: Router and client devices must support Wi-Fi 7 and MLO.
• Router Configuration: Enabled via settings like ASUS’s “Multi-Link Operation” in the network profile.
MLO represents a significant leap in wireless efficiency, addressing modern demands for speed and reliability
