Can Workgroup Bridges work with other IEEE 802.11b devices?
A. No, the Workgroup Bridge works only with other Cisco equipment. It only communicates to a Cisco AP or Cisco Bridge. It does not communicate with any other Cisco Aironet wireless networking devices, not even other WGBs, or devices other vendors manufacture . It uses Aironet Extensions, which are for all practical purposes proprietary beacons, in order to function with Cisco APs. It is a Cisco specific device.
