An AP can only communicate with client devices that support its wireless standard. For example, an 802.11a client cannot communicate with an 802.11b AP and an 802.11b client cannot communicate with an 802.11a AP. However, both 802.11b and 802.11g clients can communicate with an 802.11b/g AP. Avaya Wireless AP-3 User’s Guide...
