Hello everybody!

 

I have some questions about WiFi 7 and MLO.

 

Client Device: Samsung S24 Ultra

 

Upgraded to beta firmware due to OFMA + MU-MIMO bugfix:

How should WiFi 7 MLO work? If you enable 5 GHz and 6 GHz, should both bands be used?
Like of like 4G LTE or 5G NR Carrier Aggregation Bands?

Connection to the 6 GHz or MLO SSID makes no difference here.

 

MLO really seems not to work at all. Is there a way to test this?

 

I always get:

 

Please Note:
Samsung S24 Ultra seems to have some issues providing the proper WiFi 7 info as well.

Service Menu: Call > *#0011# > right corner top select three dots then select WiFi

The above screenshot is of this service menu.

 

 

Another thing i also keep reading:
Does WiFi 7 use 160 MHz or 320 MHz bandwidth?

Again via the service menu you can check this:

If the Link Speed is 5764 Mbps then the device uses 320 MHz.

If the Link Speed is 2882 Mbps then the device uses 160 MHz.

Or better said: A Link speed of more than 2882 Mbps = 320 MHz. 320 MHz bandwidth can only be done in the 6 GHz band.

It would be awesome to be able to combine 5 GHz + 6 GHz bandwidth together. As i think MLO should do. Or it isn't explained properly.

I have tested this in the spectrum:

 

 

So how do we get to use 5 GHz + 6 GHz together? Or am i misunderstanding what MLO should do?

 

I am trying to push my Router and Phone to the limit when it comes to WiFi 7.

This is the  fastest i have done so far:

 

 

Bonus bug:
The TP-Link Be800 and/or Samsung S24 Ultra show a WiFi 7 icon when the 5 GHz SSID is in the Available network list.

But once you connect to the 5 GHz SSID you will see a WiFi 6 icon appear in the top right corner of the Samsung S24 Ultra.

Also NETWORK: 802/11ax is used then. Max Link Speed 2401 Mbps.

Thanks! And good luck with this new tech!
