The MRF24WB0M / MRF24WG0M has passed through Wi-Fi.org certification testing. Not all routers pass through Wi-Fi.org certification, and some are pre-configured in Greenfield modes. Further, users can set configurations that severely limit performance or prevent communications. This section is intended to provide an on-going compatibility snapshot among a few of the most popular and market leading access points as well as a larger group of worldwide units. The test results will show the usability of the Microchip Wi-Fi modules operating with the latest release of the Microchip TCPIP stack.
To carry the Wi-Fi Alliance logo, Wi-Fi products must successfully pass numerous tests, including compatibility testing. Wi-Fi compatibility testing is performed against 4 representative access points, with a subset of tests run against each of the access points. Devices are tested against these access points for characteristics such as connectivity, security, throughput, and a breadth of other specifications. Microchip Wi-Fi modules have successfully passed the Wi-Fi Alliance testing. The report is titled WFA7150 and is available at

Wi-Fi technology is dramatically expanding the reach and applications of the internet to embedded devices. In many cases, Wi-Fi is new to the markets and applications it is reaching. As a result, Microchip feels it is important to raise the bar on compatibility testing, and education of the developer.
Microchip has thus adopted the Wi-Fi.org test bench for more generic Access Point testing. The goal of these tests is to ensure basic connectivity in multiple non-secure and secure scenarios with a global representation of top selling access points.
The following tests are part of the current testing suite and must pass for the Access Point to be considered compatible.
• Following in conditions of no security, WEP40 and WEP104, WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA2-PSK (AES)
• AP association, Iperf UDP upload/download, Iperf TCP upload/download, DHCP, ICMP ping
In many cases there are other modes that can be run with the Access Points and the user must take caution that if the mode is not listed, then compatibility is not necessarily guaranteed. These modes are usually Greenfield use, modes being deprecated by Wi-Fi.org, or cases of limiting the use of the Access Point for more private networking purposes and not for true Wi-Fi compatibility.
Examples of special modes not necessarily part of the results:
• WPA-PSK(AES) security: WPA-PSK security is defined as using TKIP. This is a mixed mode. This mode works if the AP just auto-detects and does not mix.
• WPA2-PSK (TKIP) security: WPA2-PSK security is defined as using 802.11i with AES. This is a mixed mode. This mode works if the AP just auto-detects and does not mix.
• 802.11g only, 802.11n only, 802.11g/n only: these are private network modes (cutting out mandatory support for 802.11b). These modes may work if basic rates are limited to 1&2mbps per 802.11.
