WLAN Controller hardware

The following devices with firmware versions 10.1.21 or higher can be used as WLAN controllers (supported devices with firmware versions lower than 10.1.21 need to be updated before installation):

bintec Access Points (W1001n, W1003n, W2003ac/ext, W2022 ac/ext., WI1003n, WO1003ac, WO2003ac)
bintec Medium Router (RS123 series, RS353 series)
bintec be.IP , be.IP plus
bintec RXL12100: central router, high-performance multiplex VPN gateway
bintec RXL12500: central router, high-performance central site VPN gateway

For small installations up to 6 access points no dedicated WLAN controller hardware is needed and one of the access points (running as master access point) can take on the function of the WLAN controller. If a WLAN network with more than 6 access points is desired, at mimimum a R1202 is necessary as WLAN controller hardware.
