Overview:
Central Configuration for up to 16 Wireless Access Points
NETGEAR® ProSAFE® Wireless Management Solutions solve the quandary of individually configuring, deploying, and managing multiple standalone wireless access points. With support of up to 150 APs, the Wireless Controller provides a central point to configure and manage your wireless network. Firmware updates and configuration changes can be pushed across multiple APs simultaneously – at the push of a button. Simplify the wireless management and improve user experience with the following key functions:
- Enable wireless users to seamlessly roam while continuously connected to the network
- Optimize network with automatic RF channel settings and adjustments of AP output power setting
- Centrally monitor and manage AP’s for a single or multiple remote sites
- Protect against intruders via advanced wireless rogue AP detection algorithms
- Segment guest and corporate access with multiple SSIDs, Guest Captive Portal, and standard based VLAN configurations

| WMS5316 Key Features | Benefits |
|---|---|
| Access Point Discovery | Discovers NETGEAR Wireless Access Points everywhere on the LAN |
| Wireless Performance Optimization | Allows centralized RF management, Quality of Service (QoS) |
| Wireless Security Configuration | Streamlines security configuration tasks |
| Wireless Network Monitoring | Summarizes managed access point status, rogue access points, wireless clients status, and wireless network usage |
| Maintenance Operations | Provides remote management, and firmware updates for the managed access points on the LAN |
| Network Configuration Levels | Ease of Use Even for Non-professional Users |
|---|---|
| Basic Settings for a Typical Network | The basic settings fit the most common network configurations. All wireless access points belong to the same organization or business. |
| Advanced Settings for Access Point Groups | If completely separate networks share a single LAN, advanced settings allow set up of access point groups. For example, a shopping mall might need access point groups if several businesses share a LAN, but each business has its own network. |
Specifications:
| Technical Specifications | |
|---|---|
| Wireless Configuration - RF | |
| Wireless Client Status | The client status list specifies detailed information about each client node currently associated with managed access points |
| Wireless Network Usage | Network usage statistics display plots of average received/transmitted network traffic per managed access point. Three different plots show Ethernet, Wireless 802.11 b/bg/ng and 802.11 a/na mode traffic separately. |
| Wireless Network Topology |
|
| DHCP Leases | Displays DHCP details for wireless clients which have been allocated IP addresses by the integrated DHCP server or the multiple DHCP server pool (VLANs) |
| Wireless Configuration - QOS | |
| WMM Quality of Service | WMM automatically prioritizes traffic for both upstream traffic from the stations to the access points (station EDCA parameters) and downstream traffic from the access points to the client stations (AP EDCA parameters). Basic QoS settings for all the access points or advanced QoS settings for each access point group are available. |
| WMM Queues in Decreasing Order of Priority |
|
| WMM Power Save option | WMM Power Save helps conserve battery power in small devices such as phones, laptops, PDAs, and audio players using IEEE 802.11e mechanisms. |
| Max Number of Clients per Access Point | Allows the Wireless Management System to set maximum number of client’s limitation per access point or per radio – ensuring that no single access point is overloaded continuously. |
| Wireless Configuration - Security | |
| Security Profiles Lists | Up to eight (8) security profiles per radio can be configured for all the managed access points. If several access point groups have been defined, then up to eight (8) security profiles per access point group can be centrally configured. |
| Security Profiles settings | Name, wireless network name (SSID), broadcast wireless network name, network authentication (open, Shared Key, legacy 801.1X WPA and WPA2 with RADIUS, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK), data encryption (none, WEP, TKIP, AES, TKIP+AES), Wireless client security separation (wireless clients can't communicate each other), VLAN ID |
| MAC Authentication | Block the network access privilege of the specified stations through all managed access points or through one or several specific access point group. |
| Local MAC Address Database | The managed access points use the local MAC address table for access control. |
| Remote MAC Address Dabase (Radius) | The managed access points use the MAC address table on an external 802.1x Radius server on the LAN for access control. |
| 801.1x RADIUS Server Settings | Four types of 801.x RADIUS server can be configured per access point group:
|
| Guest Access | Guest access settings are useful when configuring a public wireless network (preferably secured VLAN-SSID). The guest access feature is not a captive portal. Guest access settings aim to:
|
| Rogue Access Point Detection | Unidentified access points that use the SSID of a legitimate network can present a serious security threat. Rogue access point detection is enabled by default on all the managed access points. To detect rogue access points, the managed access points scan the wireless environment on all available channels, looking for unidentified access points. |
