Extreme Networks Wireless APs use the most sophisticated standards to ensure effective security and client compatibility. Using the 802.11i (WPA2) standard, wireless LAN deployments can utilize 802.1X or PSK authentication and AES, TKIP, or WEP encryption. These options ensure secure authentication and seamless integration of the APs with the wired network infrastructure.

Extreme Networks Wireless APs work together to prevent interference and optimize RF sharing. Each AP is able to intelligently and dynamically adjust its transmit power and channel based on information related to neighboring APs as well as external interference or channel occupation. This ensures optimal performance for all wireless clients. If an AP fails, neighboring APs will increase power to maintain coverage in the affected area. The APs also support RF channel plan selection with the option of supporting 3-channel, 4-channel or a fully custom configuration.
