The Bridge supports Dynamic and Static Turbo modes and boosts
throughput up to 108 Mbps.
The Dynamic Turbo mode allows automatic switching between normal and
turbo modes without modification by the user. The feature increases
throughput when bandwidth demands are high. When bandwidth demands
are low and at regular intervals, normal mode allows legacy connectivity and
new associations. The Dynamic Turbo mode connection between the Bridge
and the access point may turn to normal mode connection if another station
associates with the access point in normal mode.
The Static Turbo mode operates by using two radio channels and does
not switch to normal mode. Static Turbo mode must be configured by
the user on both the access point and the station.
