January 2026: Implemented robust Multi-Link Operation (MLO) support and monitoring across the Wi‑Fi stack, enabling cross-interface channel switching and per-link RSSI visibility. Introduced CSA-aware channel changes to ensure all links complete CSA before applying new settings, improving stability in multi-band deployments. Improved AP lifecycle reliability by ignoring stop-errors when a VAP is already stopped, reducing noise in logs and speeding operations. Added Unique MLD MAC Address Management for stable hostap WPA, preventing redundant VAP reconfigurations and preserving RSN IE in beacons. These changes deliver stronger multi-link reliability, lower operational risk, and scalable wireless deployments.

July 2025 monthly summary for rdk-wifi-hal: Implemented a targeted fix to reduce VAP downtime caused by unchanged Split/MBSSID configurations, enhancing stability and client experience across Wi-Fi networks. The change adds a pre-check to only apply VAP down/up when split_assoc_req or mbssid_num_frames actually change, preventing unnecessary disruptions. This work is tracked under RDKB-60906 with the commit 6a44bc5d136343dd4849eb8890f43be647415e82 in repository rdkcentral/rdk-wifi-hal. Result: fewer unnecessary VAP cycles, improved reliability during config refreshes, and clearer change traceability.

June 2025: Delivered significant stability, security, and scalability improvements across rdk-wifi-hal and OneWifi. Implemented rate limiting for management frames to curb abuse and potential DoS, with configurable enable/disable, rate, window, and cooldown parameters. Fixed critical memory leaks and buffer overflow vulnerabilities in radius initialization and string parsing, and resolved queue size issues to prevent event drops. These changes improve reliability, security, and operational stability under high traffic, enabling safer deployments and improved user experience. All work is tracked via RDKB commits for traceability across both repositories.
