Smart Mesh, Wifi 7 and Backhaul, how does this work?

jj38100

Will the Smart Mesh backhaul take advantage of Wifi 7, specifically MLO feature sets as well. I'm still waiting on my second WBE130 to be delivered, but I am curious.

Also, will that be reflected in Nebula on what the Backhaul is doing?

Hi @jj38100

Currenlty, the MLO feature on our Nebula WiFi 7 access point is only take advantage to the WiFi 7 clients(ex: PC, mobile devices, and etc.) but not the mesh connection between access points.

Could you please share more details on the specific information you are looking for?

Hi @jj38100

Thank you for your input.

I agree that implementing the MLO feature in the Smart Mesh function would significantly enhance performance.

That answers my question, Wifi7 MLO isn't used for the back haul so that answers my question

I guess if you can clarify, is Wifi 7 used at all for the back haul? So like QAM stuff would help with increased throughout

Thank you!
