What Can You Do With a Wireless Controller?

You can perform the following tasks with a wireless controller:
• Organize the Network
- Create access point profiles. Organize access points in profiles to differentiate
between SSIDs, client authentication, authentication settings, and WiFi QoS settings.
- Create access point profile groups. Organize access point profiles in access point
profile groups to differentiate between buildings, floors, businesses, business
divisions, and so on. Easily assign access points to profile groups or change
assignments.
