I tested the MLO performance on the Zyxel NWA130BE: It’s working!

@DevinBurgess A proper comparison article and video is in the works where I will compare more than one WiFi 7 access point, and I will include MLO performance as well.

@GregoryHernandez If you check the full review, there are some graphics where I compare the NEA130BE with other access points.

@TeresaSimmons Surprisingly, the AP handled MLO far better than expected even in a multi-client scenario, and so did the U7 Pro, so we have some good devices to choose from at a fairly decent price.

@Emily87 You can check out the simulated multi-client traffic to get an idea about the latency that you can expect. And I used uncapped downloading traffic, while online gaming usually stays at about 5Mbps, so you should see better results.

@Michael Just check out the multi-client test results. I tried to go through different scenarios, so you get an idea about the latency you can expect.

Hey Mark B, thanks for taking the time to clarify that. It’s really helpful to understand your process and it certainly makes it easier for others to replicate your results. Just a quick question, would it be possible to add the model numbers of the devices tested in the table for reference? Thanks again!

How does the Zyxel NWA130BE’s MLO perform in a setup with a mix of older and newer devices? Any compatibility issues or drops in speed?
