WMS5316 Key Features

Benefits

Access Point Discovery

Discovers NETGEAR Wireless Access Points everywhere on the LAN

Wireless Performance Optimization

Allows centralized RF management, Quality of Service (QoS)

Wireless Security Configuration

Streamlines security configuration tasks 

Wireless Network Monitoring

Summarizes managed access point status, rogue access points, wireless clients status, and wireless network usage

Maintenance Operations

Provides remote management, and firmware updates for the managed access points on the LAN

Network Configuration Levels

Ease of Use Even for Non-professional Users

Basic Settings for a Typical Network

The basic settings fit the most common network configurations. All wireless access points belong to the same organization or business.

Advanced Settings for Access Point Groups

If completely separate networks share a single LAN, advanced settings allow set up of access point groups. For example, a shopping mall might 

need access point groups if several businesses share a LAN, but each business has its own network.

Technical Specifications

IP and VLAN Configuration

Own IP Address

Fixed IP address only (no DHCP client mode for the Wireless Management System itself)

DHCP Server

The Wireless Management System can function as a DHCP server. Multiple DHCP server pools can be added for different VLANs.

VLANs for the Wireless Management System

Untagged Management VLAN (default) or dedicated management VLAN (tagged)

VLANs for the Access Points - Multiple SSIDs

For each access point group, up to 8 tagged VLANs can be configured per radio, a maximum of 16 SSIDs per group for both the radios (2.4 GHz 

and 5 GHz).

Access Point Discovery

Automatic Discovery

Layer 2 discovery method if the Wireless Management System and all the wireless access points on the LAN are in the same IP subnet

IP Discovery

Layer 3 discovery method if the the Wireless Management System and the wireless access points use different IP subnets. IP discovery can 

be used to find the access points for each subnet, one subnet at a time.

Access Point Management

Managed Access Point Assignment

After the Wireless Management System discovers the access points, they can be “added” and set “managed” by the Wireless Management System

Access Point Information Edition

Name (modifiable), model (cannot be modified), user name for logging in to the access point (cannot be modified), password (modifiable)

Access Point Groups

Initially all the wireless access points belong to the same access point group. Up to 8 independent groups of managed access points can be 

configured and each access point can belong to only one group.
