Bandspeed’s access point has three radios, allowing businesses to utilize the 2.4GHz and 5GHz band simultaneously and provide always-on Wi-Fi monitoring services.
3Connections
Because Bandspeed’s APs do not yet support 802.11n, the 3100AG only offers a pair of 10/100 Ethernet ports (1 with PoE).
4Management Console
The AirMaestro WLAN Management Console gives administrators a centralized view of the WLAN network, its potential sources of interference and identified rogue devices.
5Rogues Gallery
AirMaestro APs further detail detected interferers and rogues, allowing administrators to conduct over-the-air mitigation if desired.
6Create a Network
From the Management Console, administrators can easily create data or voice networks, assign security parameters, and deploy settings to the intended access points.
7Cluster Management
Administrators can add or remove APs from the managed cluster either via the Console (shown) or through any access point’s Web-based GUI.
8Spectrum Analysis
Bandspeed’s APs can be used to identify non-Wi-Fi sources of radio interference in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, identifying detected microwave ovens or cordless phones.
9AP GUI
Bandspeed utilizes a controllerless architecture, and unfortunately, APs must be configured individually for some things.
10Granular Controls
When managing APs individually via each device’s GUI, administrators have access to more in-depth controls over Wi-Fi and QOS behaviors.
