deployments that that require 25 or fewer access points. Easy setup allows the 1830 Series to be deployed
on networks without a physical controller.
All of these features help ensure the best possible end-user experience on the wireless network.

MCS Index: The Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) index determines the number of spatial streams, the modulation, the
coding rate, and data rate values.
