Enabling the MLO feature of the Linksys MBE7000 or LN1400 router

The Linksys MBE7000 and LN1400 support Multi-Link Operation (MLO). With MLO, Wi-Fi® 7 establishes simultaneous connections between a parent node and a child node or between the router and Wi-Fi 7 devices. These links are established using the 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands, which will then help improve data throughput, reduce latency, and make the overall connection more reliable.

Notes:

The MLO feature is turned OFF by default.
MLO is currently in the beta phase.

Things to keep in mind before turning ON the MLO feature:

All three WiFi radios must be turned ON.
All three WiFi radios must have the same WiFi name, WiFi mode, and security type.
If any of the previously mentioned wireless settings are changed, MLO will not work properly.
A WiFi restart will be needed to save the settings.

To enable it, follow the steps shown below.

1. Connect a computer to your Linksys network.

2. Log in to the router's web interface.

3. Go to Wi-Fi Settings.
