Dual speed mode Dual speed mode makes wireless transmission faster by using 2 channels, allowing 300Mbps transmission. Support for AOSS and WPS Both AOSS (AirStation One-touch Secure System) and WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) are supported. These automatic connection standards make connection with compatible wireless devices easier. Security Features The AirStations are equipped with the following security features:
Automatic Channel Selection Monitors wireless interference and automatically assigns the clearest, best channel. Roaming You can use multiple AirStations to cover a large area. Wireless clients can automatically switch AirStations for the best signal.
