Answer | The SBX-AC1200P has the ability to enhance Wi-Fi performance by using Airtime Fairness.  This Enhancement helps balance the Airtime usage when there are wireless clients with different wireless protocols like 802.11b, g, and n connected to the gateway.  All wireless clients connected to the gateway will receive an equal share of the bandwidth, and ac wireless clients will receive a higher throughput.  Some wireless clients based on older technologies may receive less bandwidth than others when running in a mixed environment.
