CAPWAP (Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points) ensures secure communication between wireless clients and the network by encapsulating data and control messages.

Pre-deployment site surveys help in identifying potential sources of interference and determining the optimal locations for AP placement to ensure robust coverage and performance.

Using non-overlapping channels and staggering AP placements vertically helps to reduce co-channel interference between floors.

A high SNR indicates that the signal strength is much stronger than the background noise, which is essential for reliable wireless communication.

CAPWAP (Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points) is used for secure communication between APs and wireless controllers.

PoE allows both power and data to be delivered through a single Ethernet cable, simplifying installation and reducing the need for additional power sources.

Proper VLAN and subnet configuration is essential for integrating new wireless controllers to ensure that traffic is correctly segmented and routed.

An anchor controller is used to manage guest traffic, providing isolation and security for guest users on the network.

802.11r fast roaming reduces the time required for clients to transition between APs, minimizing disconnections during movement.

Mobility groups help in managing client handoffs between APs, allowing for seamless roaming and continuous connectivity.

N+1 redundancy provides an additional controller that can take over in case the primary controller fails, ensuring high availability.

SSO ensures that in case of a controller failure, a secondary controller can take over with minimal downtime, maintaining network reliability.

Load balancing helps distribute client connections evenly across APs, preventing any single AP from becoming overloaded and improving overall performance.

802.11ac Wave 2 offers higher data rates and supports MU-MIMO, which increases network capacity and performance.
