With its potential for significantly higher speeds, lower latency, and enhanced reliability, Wi-Fi 7 is set to revolutionize industries and applications ranging from industrial IoT to high-performance consumer devices. At Wallys, we\u2019re always driven by customer needs, and as part of our commitment to offering cutting-edge solutions, we\u2019re focused on expanding the possibilities for Wi-Fi 7 technology\u2014specifically by enabling <strong>Multi-Link Operation (MLO)<\/strong> support on X86 platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ember63\">Expanding the Reach of Wi-Fi 7: A New Level of Compatibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"ember64\">Last year, we introduced <strong>X86 driver support<\/strong> for our Wi-Fi 6 module, <strong>DR9074<\/strong>, which enabled seamless integration across a broader range of motherboard platforms, not just Qualcomm devices. This support empowered our customers to experience high-quality, stable Wi-Fi data transmission and opened the door for new applications that demand reliable and high-throughput wireless connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/wodatherm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/enable-linux-9074-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wodatherm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/enable-linux-9074-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/wodatherm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/enable-linux-9074-900x506.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/wodatherm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/enable-linux-9074-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/wodatherm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/enable-linux-9074-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/wodatherm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/enable-linux-9074.jpeg 1488w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"ember67\">With the introduction of Wi-Fi 7, cross-platform compatibility becomes even more critical. Wi-Fi 7 brings with it a new set of features designed to push the boundaries of wireless connectivity, and one of the most significant is <strong>Multi-Link Operation (MLO)<\/strong>. But to harness the full potential of MLO, we need to ensure that our solutions can operate on multiple platforms\u2014something we\u2019re excited to announce we\u2019re working on with our <strong>DR9274 (QCN9274)<\/strong> and <strong>QCN6274<\/strong> Wi-Fi 7 modules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"681\" height=\"415\" src=\"https:\/\/wodatherm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/1740554079288.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9377\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wodatherm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/1740554079288.png 681w, https:\/\/wodatherm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/1740554079288-600x366.png 600w, https:\/\/wodatherm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/1740554079288-300x183.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 681px) 100vw, 681px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">wifi6 vs wifi7<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ember70\">What is MLO? And Why Does It Matter?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"ember71\"><strong>Multi-Link Operation (MLO)<\/strong> is one of the standout features of Wi-Fi 7. MLO allows devices to transmit data across multiple frequency bands (like 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz) simultaneously. This multi-band transmission significantly improves throughput and reliability, while reducing latency and congestion, making it an ideal solution for environments that require high-speed and low-latency communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"ember72\">In simple terms, MLO will enable your devices to leverage the full bandwidth potential of Wi-Fi 7, resulting in faster speeds, more stable connections, and more efficient use of available spectrum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"627\" src=\"https:\/\/wodatherm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/wifi7-routerboard-1024x627.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wodatherm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/wifi7-routerboard-1024x627.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/wodatherm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/wifi7-routerboard-900x551.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/wodatherm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/wifi7-routerboard-300x184.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/wodatherm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/wifi7-routerboard-768x470.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/wodatherm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/wifi7-routerboard.jpeg 1368w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ember75\">Introducing the QCN9274 &amp; QCN6274 Wi-Fi 7 Modules<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"ember76\">To enable the full potential of MLO, we\u2019re leveraging the power of <strong>QCN9274<\/strong> and <strong>QCN6274<\/strong>\u2014two of Qualcomm\u2019s latest Wi-Fi 7 chipsets, both designed for high-performance applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>QCN9274 (Waikiki)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>QCN6274 (Waikiki)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"841\" height=\"264\" src=\"https:\/\/wodatherm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/1740554120723.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wodatherm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/1740554120723.png 841w, https:\/\/wodatherm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/1740554120723-600x188.png 600w, https:\/\/wodatherm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/1740554120723-300x94.png 300w, https:\/\/wodatherm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/1740554120723-768x241.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 841px) 100vw, 841px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">MLO<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"ember80\">These two powerful chipsets represent the future of Wi-Fi 7 and provide the foundation for expanding compatibility across a variety of platforms.
