Dear all ,

I have doubt that will a 11n client seamlessly roam between legacy a/g AP and 11n AP . will there not be any problem as the rates/channel width support is different for the two AP's ?

Does the 11n draft says anything bout this ? Any pointer to doc which explains how this will be handled .

Vinay ,

Client capable to support 20/Mhz has no problem roaming to legacy or from legcy to 802.11n.

As per the rates are considered , I suppose there should not be any problem while roaming from legacy to 11n provided the clinet is in sync with the rates supported by the AP.

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
