Roaming between 802.11a and 802.11b

[ssabberg]

Can we use Roaming between 802.11a (AP1200) and 802.11b (AP1200)..?

Only if your wireless adapter supports 2.4GHz (802.11b) and 5GHz (802.11a)

802.11a and 802.11b use two different chipsets/2 different radios. Therefore two different NIC cards would be required. To date, I am unaware of anyone manufacturing a dual chipset NIC.

In response to companies that have dual band radios in one card...Linksys, DLink, Proxim-Orinoco and Netgear all have one. DLink also has a PCI version...the other three have Cardbus only I believe. If you are using an Access Point that supports this dual band card then, I guess roaming would be possible...but still not from B to A and back, that I know of.

802.11a is not backward compatible with 802.11b , 802.11a lan adapter can not associate to 802.11b radio so roaming between 802.11a to 802.11b is not

possible .

the roaming between 802.11and 802.11b is not

possible, but there's some vendor that support dual band wireless lan solution. You can look the Netgear adapter
