Chapter 17 Roaming Client Compatibility
This chapter contains a list of 802.11 clients that have been verified to be 802.11-
conforming clients (send re-association request when roaming) as well as a list of non-
conforming-clients (always send association request when roaming). For details on the
Motrix roaming service, please refer to Chapter 9.

Notes:
The above lists do not encompass all available client hardware in the market. Moreover,
due to minor variations in implementation of the 802.11 standard (such as scanning
algorithm, the speed of rate negotiations, etc), the roaming speeds may vary from one
supported client to another. Most clients, however, should have a roaming delay of less
than 50ms.

Recommended clients are verified to offer the most consistent performance with MSR2000’s Motrix
Roaming service.
