Version 1.0 10/2017
Product Manual—Wireless Video Bridge Gen2
IV. FEATURES
Functionally, the WVB Gen2 is identical to the WVB Gen1 with the exception of the following features:
A. 802.11AC SUPPORT
802.11ac is the latest IEEE Wi-Fi® standard, which provides increased bandwidth and additional throughput
over increased range compared to 802.11n (on which WVB Gen1 is based). Increased throughput is required to
sustain the level of video traffi c required to support more concurrent clients, which are a feature of the HS17
family of products with up to seven HD clients supported or two Wireless 4K clients and one Wireless HD client.
B. MoCA 2.0
MoCA 2.0 allows for increased frequency range and channel bandwidth, which leads to increased throughput
over greater distances in comparison to MoCA 1.1. MoCA 2.0 is also backwards compatible with MoCA 1.1 and
will therefore allow for operability with existing MoCA 1.1-compliant products.
C. WIRELESS REPEATER FUNCTIONALITY
The WVB Gen2’s ability to act as a wireless repeater means it can off er a wireless solution for extending the
range of the internal WVB of the HS17.
D. WIRELESS PROTECTED SETUP
The WVB Gen2 has an Add Client button that will primarily be used with the Genie 2 (HS17) set-top box,
eliminating the need to add the RVU client through the “Add Client” screen. If the user chooses, they also have
the option of adding an RVU client through the “Add Client” screen, just like the WVB Gen1.
