1.1.10 Support for 4 BSSIDs per Radio

The access point supports four BSSIDs per radio. Each BSSID has a corresponding MAC address. The
first MAC address corresponds to BSSID #1. The MAC addresses for the other three BSSIDs (BSSIDs
#2, #3, #4) are derived by adding 1, 2, 3, respectively, to the radio MAC address.
If the radio MAC address displayed on the Radio Settings screen is 00:A0:F8:72:20:DC, then the
BSSIDs for that radio will have the following MAC addresses:
BSSID
BSSID #1
BSSID #2
BSSID #3
BSSID #4

1.1.11 Quality of Service (QoS) Support

The QoS implementation provides applications running on different wireless devices a variety of
priority levels to transmit data to and from the access point. Equal data transmission priority is fine
for data traffic from applications such as Web browsers, file transfers or email, but is inadequate for
multimedia applications.
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), video streaming and interactive gaming are highly sensitive to
latency increases and throughput reductions. These forms of higher priority data traffic can
significantly benefit from the QoS implementation.The WiFi Multimedia QOS Extensions (WMM)
implementation used by the shortens the time between transmitting higher priority data traffic and
is thus desirable for multimedia applications. In addition, U-APSD (WMM Power Save) is also
supported.
WMM defines four access categories—voice, video, best effort and background—to prioritize traffic
for enhanced multimedia support.
