How to Set up Seamless Wireless Roaming?
The example instructs how to configure two APs profile and topology for roaming. These two APs need to use the same SSID, security, DHCP server, and signal overlap. The two APs have the same DHCP server from USG, and this example shows how to configure APs in the same SSID and security. Configure APs via AP Group 1 Roaming…

How to Set WiFi Multiple SSID for Office Environment (when NXC is DHCP Server)
When NXC is DHCP Server for VLAN10 and VLAN20 The example instructs how to configure VLANs and set different VLANs for different SSIDs in NXC when NXC is DHCP server for VLANs. The USG does not need to do any other settings when there are different VLANs add to the environment since NXC is a DHCP server for VLANs. In this…

If the customer uses captive portal, which mode - tunnel or bridge - for SSID can be used?
If the customer uses captive portal, the traffic must go back to the NXC to perform the captive portal. In topology 1, the traffic from AP will go through the NXC, you can use tunnel mode or bridge mode; we prefer to use bridge mode. In topology 2, the traffic from AP will go the best way to the internet without routing…

Why do we need to do portal redirect on an AP?
As the following scenario case: Remote site APs must support tunnel mode in order to use the captive portal. So you can use redirect on AP feature to solve such case. There are some benefits of the Redirect on AP : 1.Throughput increase (local bridge mode) Authentication packet goes back to the NXC controller Reduce the…

How could I make the clients connect to 5G SSID if their wireless stations are supported 5G?
The signal strength and coverage impact the station's connection. The suggestion is to make bigger power of 5GHz, and lower power of 2.4GHz. The lower 2.4GHz power can make less 2.4GHz co-channel interference and the stations will easier to connect with APs. Or, you can use the band select in SSID setting. When you enable…

What is the requirement to create the captive portal application?
There are some key points to set the captive portal: 1. The controller must be able to access the internet and do DNS query successfully. 2. The traffic must go through (comes in and goes out) the NXC controller when using redirect from controller. Note: If the traffic doesn’t go through NXC, the SSID used for connection…

What’s the difference between roaming and STA disassociation/association?
When a client leaves the previous AP's network and associates with a new AP. This new AP will send a layer 2 update frame. The NXC controller judges the roaming conduction that the client goes from one AP to another should create a log “STA Roaming”. If the client disassociates from an AP, there is a short time difference…
