Abstract: A technical solution for band steering of WLAN traffic using multi-link operation is provided. The solution can include a multi-link device (MLD) to establish a multi-link (ML) comprising links across different frequency bands. The MLD can grant a device to share access to a link of the ML with a WLAN device. The device can communicate using a different type of wireless protocol than a protocol of the WLAN device sharing a frequency band with the device. The MLD can block a WLAN communication of the WLAN device on the link of the ML to be used by device for communicating and direct WLAN transmissions to a non-shared link of the ML while the device performs activity (e.g., other than WLAN communication) on the link. The MLD can allow the WLAN device to resume WLAN transmission on the link responsive to the device completing activity on the link.
