If not using Nebula, and accessing NWA130BE through web interface, how do you enable MLO after updating to latest firmware (7.00(ACIL.1)C0) on nwa130be?

    Hello @davidfi01

    Update 20240927:
    While we work towards implementing MLO in standalone mode, we'd like to emphasize that: The key WiFi 7 feature, Multi-Link Operation (MLO), has been supported on Nebula since July 2024 and we invite all users to try this new technology and provide feedback on your experience.

    Thank you for your follow-up question. I apologize for any confusion, but I can confirm that the timeline I mentioned is indeed Q3 2025 for implementing MLO in standalone mode for the NWA130BE AP.

    The reason for this extended timeline is due to the complexity of designing the profile object for standalone mode. This process requires thorough development and testing to ensure stable and optimal performance.

    We understand that this may seem like a long wait, and we appreciate your patience. Our team is working diligently to bring this feature to standalone mode while maintaining the high standards of performance and reliability that our customers expect from Zyxel products.

    In the meantime, if you require MLO functionality for your NWA130BE AP, we recommend using it in Nebula Cloud mode, where the feature is currently available.

    If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask. We're here to help.

    Hi @davidfi01

    Currently, the MLO feature is supported only in Nebula Cloud mode for the NWA130BE AP. To use the MLO feature, we recommend managing your AP through Nebula Cloud.

    As for standalone mode, the MLO feature is still under development. We plan to introduce this feature in standalone mode WiFi 7 AP in Q3 2025.

    Q3-2025??? did you mean Q3-2024?

    If 2025 - that seems like an awfully long time from now.
