Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-01

Adopt when measured benefits justify replacing existing equipment.

Why
Commercial products deliver strong performance, but client compatibility, distance and MLO implementation determine the practical improvement.
Next
Test the intended router, firmware and clients under realistic congestion, roaming and distance conditions before a broader rollout.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Clients may implement only limited MLO behavior.
  • Product branding does not guarantee certification or every headline feature.
  • Distance and congestion reduce throughput.
  • Multigigabit operation requires suitable ports and wired backhaul.
  • 6 GHz operation is subject to regional spectrum restrictions.
