WiFi7 / MLO Issue

WiFi7 / MLO Issue

WiFi7 / MLO Issue
WiFi7 / MLO Issue
a week ago
Model: EAP783   EAP650-Outdoor   EAP773  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: latest

I have:

(5) 773s 1.0.14 Build 20240801 Rel. 78844

(1) 783 1.0.14 Build 20240801 Rel. 78844

(1) 650-Outdoor 1.2.0 Build 20240830 Rel. 50742

and an ubuntu software controller at 5.15.6.4 (Beta).

 

When I setup 10310WiFi as MLO, I had terrible issues with clients and eventually almost all of them (tried) connecting to the 650-Outdoor except for my new iPhone16ProMax.

 

I disabled MLO on 10130WiFi and setup a new 10310MLO7 SSID. Saw some funky-ness still so I disabled the 10310MLO7 SSID on the 650-Outdoor.  Now everything is good.

 

Therefore, there appears to be an issue with the MLO implementation at the moment.  I understand from the Configuration Result page that the 650-Outdoor does not support MLO, thus why I disabled that SSID on that EAP.

Hi  @W38122077 

 

Are 10310WiFi and 10310MLO7 referring to the SSID name of the wifi networks?

Could you please share more details about the terrible issues you mentioned? low speed, or intermittent connection?

Is the iPhone 16 ProMax the only Wi-Fi7-capable device? If not, what's the behavior of other devices?

If you don't mind, please also share some screenshots of the MLO SSID config, and some pictures showing the issue.

 

 

You may try the following: create two SSIDs, one enabling MLO for the iPhone 16 ProMax and other wifi7 clients.

the other SSID for other devices.

Yes, 10310WiFi is the (now) non-MLO SSID and 10310MLO7 is the new MLO SSID I created for testing MLO.

 

Issues:

-devices just not connecting

-almost all non-WiFi7 devices end up connected to 650-Outdoor with very poor signal and connection issues

-few devices showed "connected" to 773/783 but effectively had no connection to internet

-I should have mentioned, I have a third SSID: 10310Limerick that is my IoT/2.4GHz-only SSID

 

Yes, the iPhone16ProMax is my only WiFi7 device currently.

 

I'll try to reconfigure and test later and get the screenshots.  Test plan will be:

-disable broadcast of 10310MLO7

-enable MLO on 10310WiFi

-restart devices as needed

-screenshot end results of where devices connect

Anything new? Did you get some time to test further?
