1.5 Features and Benefits
1.5.1 IEEE Standards Support And Wi-Fi Compliance
• Support for IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11i,
and IEEE 802.3af wireless networking standards.
• Provides bandwidth of up to 54 Mbps for IEEE 802.11a or IEEE 802.11g
(11 Mbps for IEEE 802.11b, 108 Mbps for Atheros 802.11a Turbo).
• Wi-Fi certification.
1.5.2 Wireless Features
• Auto channel selection at startup.
• Transmit power adjustment.
• Wireless Distribution System (WDS) for connecting multiple access points
wirelessly. Extends your network with less cabling.
• Quality of Service (QoS) for enhanced throughput and better performance
of time-sensitive wireless traffic like Video, Audio, Voice over IP (VoIP)
and streaming media. Our QoS is Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) compliant.
• Load Balancing.
• Built-in support for multiple SSIDs (network names) and multiple BSSIDs
(basic service set IDs) on the same access point.
Two special-purpose BSSIDs are supported, one for the Internal (primary
and management) network, and the other for the guest network. Six addi-
tional general-purpose BSSIDs (called Virtual Wireless Networks or
VWNs) are supported using VLANs.
• Channel management for automatic coordination of radio channel
assignments to reduce AP-to-AP interference on the network and maximize
Wi-Fi bandwidth.
• Neighboring access point detection (also known as “rogue” AP detection).
• Support for IEEE 802.11d Regulatory Domain selection (country codes for
global operation).
