- kalleboo 2y agoThat's interesting to hear, do you have a link to read more, I'm curious.
- vlan0 2y agoI don't unfortunately. Best I can offer is WiFi 7 in-depth. But that's about a 400 page read. I'm speaking from deploying/managing WiFI for the last 20 years. The "boiled ocean" version is this. Wireless connectivity is a dance between client and AP. Client holds the decision making and AP can at best influence those decisions. MLO is gonna require a new SSID just for MLO capable devices. But you still must maintain separate SSID for non-MLO devices. This is a show stopper for services like eduroam. Multiple SSIDs is also a PITA because the second a user experiences an issue, they will try to connect to whatever SSID they can. Now that profile is saved. Now every time the client connects it might hear multiple SSIDs that are saved as auto-join. Now you have an unpredictable client experience.
