Functionally, the WVB Gen2 is identical to the WVB Gen1 with the exception of the following
features:
A. 802.11
AC
S
UPPORT
.
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 Gen 1 is
based). Increased throughput is required to sustain the level of video traffic required to
support more concurrent clients which are a feature of the HS17family of products with up to
7 HD clients supported or 2 Wireless 4K Clients and one Wireless HD client.

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.

The WVB Gen 2 will contain an Add Client Button that will primarily be used with the HS17
eliminating the need to add the RVU Client through the “Add Client” Screen. If the user
chooses, they also have the option of adding a RVU client through the “Add Client” screen
just like the WVB Gen 1.
