Airtime Fairness
System > Airtime Fairness
This is an optional setting that will provide higher speed WiFi clients with higher traffic
priority when competing for wireless bandwidth with slower speed clients. This can
provide increased network performance by preventing higher speed clients from waiting
for slower speed clients to completely data transfers before utilizing WiFi bandwidth.
Note: Airtime Fairness priority (highest to lowest): 802.11ac > 802.11n > 802.11a/g >
802.11b

Roaming Support (802.11k)
Wireless (2.4GHz or 5GHz) > Wireless Network
The 802.11k standard is an enhancement to wireless roaming technology. It allows
wireless access points to exchange and learn information about other access points on
the network such as signal strength and client utilization and provide this information to
802.11k capable wireless client devices. Wireless client devices can use the information
about other wireless network and make more intelligent decisions when roaming from
one wireless access point to another. This also assists in better access point client
utilization. Note: This function can only work with 802.11k capable wireless client
devices. Please check your device specifications with your manufacturer for details.
