7.12 Technical Reference

The following section contains additional technical information about the NBG- 460N features described in this chapter.

7.12.1 Roaming

A wireless station is a device with an IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n compliant wireless interface. An access point (AP) acts as a bridge between the wireless and wired networks. An AP creates its own wireless coverage area. A wireless station can associate with a particular access point only if it is within the access point’s coverage area.

In a network environment with multiple access points, wireless stations are able to switch from one access point to another as they move between the coverage areas. This is known as roaming. As the wireless station moves from place to place, it is responsible for choosing the most appropriate access point depending on the signal strength, network utilization or other factors.
