OpenX WiFi

OpenWiFi firmware for supported AP hardware

OpenX WiFi is the OpenWiFi-based access point firmware behind every Wifi-Soft deployment — Wifi-Soft doesn't manufacture access points. Instead, OpenX WiFi runs on a growing list of supported ODM hardware, so you pick the AP that fits your budget and site instead of being locked into one vendor's box, all managed centrally through OpenX Gateway or OpenX Cloud.

On your own hardware

What it does

  • OpenWiFi-based AP firmware — no Wifi-Soft-branded access point to buy
  • Runs on any AP from a growing list of supported ODM hardware vendors
  • WiFi 6/6E multi-radio support, with backward compatibility for WiFi 4/5
  • Zero-touch provisioning, discovery, and remote firmware upgrade from day one
  • Managed and provisioned entirely through OpenX Gateway or OpenX Cloud

Everything included with OpenX WiFi

Full-featured out of the box — no add-on modules to buy separately.

Radio & RF

Independent control over every radio on a multi-band AP.

802.11r Fast BSS Transition

Fast roaming handoff between APs, radio by radio.

802.11k Radio Resource Management

APs share radio information so clients pick the best one to roam to.

802.11v Network-Assisted Roaming

The network — not just the client — helps steer roaming decisions.

RRM Channel Provisioning (uChannel)

Automated per-AP channel assignment tuned to the RF environment.

RRM Client Steering (uSteer)

Threshold-based client steering keeps load balanced across APs.

Provisioning & Configuration

Device Identity

Every AP is tracked by model, MAC address, and serial number.

Remote Software Upgrade

Firmware upgrades push remotely — no truck roll per AP.

Multiple SSID Configuration

Configure several SSIDs per AP, each with its own policy.

VLAN per SSID

Map every SSID to its own VLAN for traffic separation.

AP Network Mode Control

Switch an AP between bridge and NAT mode per deployment.

NTP & RTLS

Time sync and optional real-time location services, enabled per AP.

Security

WPA/WPA2/WPA3 Personal & Enterprise

Mixed-mode security profiles, from open WEP compatibility to WPA3 Enterprise.

VxLAN Port Configuration

VxLAN tunneling support for overlay network designs.

Per-SSID Bandwidth Rate Control

Cap and shape bandwidth independently for every SSID.

Supported AP hardware
