The Lantronix exclusive SmartRoam™ technology takes a proactive approach to transferring connectivity from one access point (AP) to another AP belonging to the same ESS (having the same SSID or Network Name). SmartRoam continuously tracks the signal strength of APs within range to smoothly and automatically transition to an AP with a stronger signal.
Note: The WiBox 2100E with firmware version 6.2 and later is configurable for wireless
bridging (see 11: Wireless Bridging). This allows a host connected to the WiBox 2100E over a wired Ethernet interface to be accessible over a wireless network.
