Important notes

Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint Bridging Support for 802.11n Platforms, the following items are supported on the 802.11n platforms for bridging:

• MIMO, short-range bridging (on-campus or inter-building bridge deployments), with dipole and MIMO antennas (line of sight and short-range) under 1 km
• 20-MHz and 40-MHz 802.11n support
• Workgroup bridge (WGB) short-range support
• SISO (single-in, single-out), MCS 0-7, and legacy bridge rates (802.11 a/b/g and 802.11n) using one outdoor antenna

The following are not supported on AP 702 for bridging:

• The distance CLI command: long-range links over 1 km currently are not supported; therefore, the distance command is not supported
• Outdoor MIMO bridging using external antennas has not been fully tested and is not fully supported with this release

Low Throughput Seen on Access Points with 16 BSSIDs Configured:

• If your network uses 16 BSSIDs with 1 and 2-Mbps data rates, access points might experience very low throughput due to high management traffic

802.11n HT Rates Apply Only to No Encryption or WPA2/AES Encryption:

• The 802.11n HT rates apply only to no encryption or WPA2/AES encryption They do not apply to WEP or WPA encryption
• If WEP or TKIP encryption is used, the access point and any 802.11n clients will not transmit at HT rates
• Legacy rates (802.11a/b/g) will be used for any clients using WEP or TKIP encryption
