Network Nibbles: Zero-Friction Wireless with Wi-Fi 7

[Meraki-Training]

Learning objective

Identify how Multi-Link Operation (MLO) and dual uplinks increase throughput, reduce latency, and improve reliability for Wi-Fi 7 connections.

Learn

Cisco's Wi-Fi 7 achieves zero-friction wireless connectivity through Multi-Link Operation (MLO) and dual uplink features. MLO enables clients to transmit traffic simultaneously across multiple bands, such as 5GHz and 6GHz, optimizing bandwidth usage.

When combined with dual uplinks, this technology boosts speed and reliability while minimizing latency, ensuring seamless and efficient network performance.

This environment will let you explore some Wi-Fi 7 features within the Meraki dashboard. Follow these steps to identify:  

The MLO feature on the Meraki dashboard displays the client device connected to two radios.

1. How the dual uplinks are represented

2. Dual uplink aggregation and redundancy features

3. Which Wi-Fi 7 client(s) are connected to the access point

4. How the client connects to multiple bands simultaneously

5. Visual representation of the current client connection

6. Client's performance

After finding those, test your knowledge with a quick assessment!
