What does MLO mean on your router and should you enable it?
Network device manufacturers have made a lot of big promises about Wi-Fi 7 and one of the biggest is the potential of Multi-Link Operation.
AI Summary
Multi‑Link Operation (MLO) is a new Wi‑Fi 7 feature that lets a router use several frequency bands at the same time, distributing traffic across them to boost speed and stability. It expands on earlier band‑steering technology, which automatically switches bands but can get stuck on congested channels, causing slowdowns or instability. Properly implemented, MLO would transmit data simultaneously over three bands, eliminating those issues. However, current routers have not yet realized the full benefits, so users are unlikely to experience the promised performance gains at present.
