    RT-BE96U - MLO vs network with “WiFi7 mode” with “MLO Fronthaul for Clients”

    That's how I have my RT-BE96U configured as well. Before the most recent firmwares with the architecture changes, I had a separate MLO network and things were never really stable. Now (last couple months) I have MLO on the.main ssid with all 3 bands, and it's been rock solid.

    Release ASUS RT-BE96U Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_37031 (2024/11/07)

    No problem! The architecture change actually happened in the previous 37024 firmware a few weeks back, it's in the changelog: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/asus-rt-be96u-firmware-version-3-0-0-6-102_37024-10-23-2024.92653/ The say they "highly discourage downgrading," but they literally...

    Release ASUS RT-BE96U Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_37031 (2024/11/07)

    This firmware has some architecture changes that prevents "downgrading" to older firmwares. In this case, the current Merlin fw doesn't have these new changes, bc Merlin confirmed he hasn't received an updated GPL from Asus yet. So while his firmware is more feature-rich than stock, it'll take...

    Release ASUS RT-BE96U Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_37024 (10/23/2024)

    Interesting input! I am using the "MLO fronthaul for clients" setting on the main ssid, as well as wifi 7 mode and all 3 bands selected as in my last screenshot. I didn't have a mesh as I just have the one router. I only have one MLO device right now (Pixel 9 Pro XL) and MLO is definitely...

    Release ASUS RT-BE96U Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_37031 (2024/11/07)

    I'm noticing this as well. Going to hold off on scheduling reboots and monitor for awhile

    Release ASUS RT-BE96U Firmware version 3.0.0.6.102_37024 (10/23/2024)

    I flashed this a couple hours ago as we've been waiting for some type of fw update, and finally had time to check it out. Biggest change so far is the new Network tab which now has an MLO option for the Main network that previous firmwares did not. Nice to have it on the Main network and not...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.2 is now available for Wifi 7 devices

    So when would those changes in the new RT-BE96U be part of merlin firmware? i'd like to stay on merlin, but it seems once you flash the stock fw, you can't revert back to previous firmware versions due to "architecture changes".

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3006.102.2 is now available for Wifi 7 devices

    Does this include the changes from the new stock RT-BE96U firmware that finally dropped on 10/24 @RMerlin ? https://www.snbforums.com/threads/asus-rt-be96u-firmware-version-3-0-0-6-102_37024-10-23-2024.92653/

    [ 3006.102 alpha Build(s) ] Testing available build(s)

    Flashed the latest 3006_102.2_alpha1-g219710951f build on my RT-BE96U and so far no issues to report. Thanks @RMerlin!

    MLO performance and Limitations

    I'm also really hoping for this!

    MLO performance and Limitations

    On the RT-BE96U, you cannot leave out 2.4Ghz unfortunately. It's a separate SSID with all 3 bands, also combined/SmartConnected together.

    [ 3006.102 alpha Build(s) ] Testing available build(s)

    Using Smart connect is required to use MLO which I'm using, so not an ideal option
