4 Multi BSSID (mBSSID)

WiLink8 devices can support two virtual APs on the same physical device. The two virtual APs operates on the same RF channel. In mBSSID mode, the WLAN Component will create two SoftAP network interfaces.

  • Each AP will have a separate BSSID and SSID.
  • Each AP will transmit a separate Beacon.
  • Each virtual AP will respond to Probe-Requests separately.
  • Support up to 10 traffic links (10 connected STAs) total, for both BSSs combined.
  • WiFi Privacy / Encryption
    • Each of the two APs will be able to enable or disable Privacy, regardless of the other AP’s setting.
    • All combinations of Encryption types will be supported.
