TRENDnet's Wireless LAN Controller, model TEW-WLC100, is designed to simplify management and setup processes for your access points. This new controller features seamless WiFi roaming, helping your devices stay connected when transitioning from one access point to another within the network. Fast BSS Transition, or fast roaming (802.11r) along with Opportunistic Key Caching (OKC) ensures optimal roaming conditions for your mobile WiFi clients. Simultaneously manage up to 128 access points, perform batch firmware upgrades, and monitor network connection status.

Seamless WiFi Roaming

802.11k provides a more efficient WiFi roaming environment by intelligently managing neighboring APs and passing mobile clients off to the next best access point; 802.11r and Opportunistic Key Caching (OKC) preauthenticates those WiFi clients with neighboring APs making for a fast and seamless transition.

Centralized AP Management

Easily manage up to 128 access points across your network. Reduce AP deployment time by creating group profiles to provision multiple access points simultaneously.
