Ruckus R770 Wi-Fi 7 802.11be Access Point Review 320Mhz and Multi-Link Operation (MLO) Tested

[@richardgillespie7236]

Where the Ethernet ports are located, is there a lip with a small space for cables to plug into? The diagrams online show that there is but wasn't sure if these were just marketing images. We have Industrial Cat6 Field Connectors which wouldn't fit into these ports unless these were designed like previous AP's.

here is a photo of the ports they are on the side of the AP bottom photos.app.goo.gl/MbvkMERspUK6d3Am8 If you are purchasing some R770's I can send you a quote.

Thanks for the review!

Good video Jeff. Maybe you can use the free Open Speed Test Server to do some testing also.

[@keenanjeff]

Great idea I updated the video thumbnail with the results photos.app.goo.gl/CqerB29hau5NBQAA9

How does Ruckus present the information of MLO clients (Clients MAC/Signal/Channels/TX RX Rate)? Does it display the information of each RADIO separately (separate display for each radio ?)or does it show all information in a single line for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz band (single display for all radio)

[@keenanjeff]

Windows 11 preview does not fully support MLO yet so I can only see a single channel with ax/be/6g there is a display spot for MLD MAC in the ruckus R1 cloud.

@@keenanjeff Have you ever tested with Samsung S24+ on Ruckus? It's one of the known clients that support MLO.

[@peterchen7146]

​@@keenanjeff Thanks for such a good review.Your feedback is valuable to me

[@keenanjeff]

I have not but I hear conflicting reports as to if it even has Wi-Fi 7 enabled.

[@michaelhartman9734]

How do you configure the BE200 to connect using multilink in Win11 - is there new Windows UI to select that? Or is it automatic?

[@keenanjeff]

it is automatic you have to be on windows 11 insider preview MLO is not fully implemented yet but you can see aggregate link speed in network info and you can run wlan show interface in powershell

[@JTF195]

Is it possible to select all three bands for MLO or is it limited to just two?

[@keenanjeff]

At this point you can only select 2 from the ruckus 1 cloud

[@bpatel1677]

what's the firmware version on this R770?

[@keenanjeff]

it is 7.0.0.103.1034 running on the R1 cloud

[@pchannan]

Can this be used as unleashed?

[@keenanjeff]

No you need to manage the R770 with the Ruckus R1 Cloud.
