TruStream™: 

TruSteam does the inverse of SectorMaxx. If you require bandwidth and have enough 

coverage, you can enable TruSteam to maximize your bandwidth. 

Note:

 Enabling both SectorMaxx and TruStream will produce results based on your environment. You may 

get better coverage at certain times during the day and more bandwidth at other times. This setting is 
only recommended for low-interference environments. 

Fluxx™: 

Fluxx helps reduce the power on APs based on interference. Fluxx will detect whether or not your 

APs are interfering with one another and adjust power levels accordingly.
