Specifications

WLAN Standards

• All WDS connections between the WDS base station and

the WDS repeaters must be secured using the same

encryption (e.g. WPA/WPA2). Note that the WPA2 en-

cryption method is available only when your network

consists of AVM devices, since in the WLAN standard

only WEP encryption has been specified for WDS con-

nections.

• All WLAN base stations in the WDS must use the same

radio channel.

• Every WLAN base station participating in the WDS fulfills

the tasks of a WLAN access point for its WLAN clients.

This means that the WLAN clients see each WLAN base

station with an individual name (SSID) and individual

encryption settings.

If you use the WLAN control software provided in

Windows 7, Windows Vista or by the Windows XP Ser-

vice Pack 2 on your WLAN clients, you can assign the

same SSID and the same encryption settings to different

WLAN base stations. Each client can then automatically

ity.

• Each IP address may be assigned only once in the wire-

less network.

9.5 WLAN Standards

The WLAN standards IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b,

IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11n and IEEE 802.11i were devel-

oped by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers

(IEEE).

The IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and

IEEE 802.11n standards define the throughput within a wire-

less radio network. IEEE 802.11i is a security standard.
