Applicability Matrix General Information

  • Applicability Matrix indicates wireless network type when specific feature can be used.
  • Note that there are 2 columns for 802.11 protocol: 802.11 specifies availability of mode in "pure" 802.11 network (when connecting to any vendor AP) and ROS 802.11 specifies availability of mode when connecting to RouterOS AP that implements necessary proprietary extensions for mode to work.

WDS Applicability Matrix

The following matrix specifies possible WDS network setups for each wireless-protocol. First column specifies possible WDS network structure.

ROS 802.11 nstreme nv2
AP-bridge* to AP-bridge V
AP-bridge to Station-WDS V V V
AP-bridge to WDS-Slave V

* - mode=ap-bridge applies to mode=bridge too.

Station Applicability Matrix

The following matrix specifies station modes available for each wireless-protocol. Table applies to RouterOS v5rc11 and above:

802.11 ROS 802.11 nstreme nv2
station V V V V
station-wds V V V
station-pseudobridge V V V
station-pseudobridge-clone V V V
station-bridge V V V



Other Options Applicability Matrix

802.11 ROS 802.11 nstreme nv2
Distance Setting V V
Security Profile V V V - **
HW-Retries V V V

** - Nv2 protocol uses different security configuration.
