Extended wireless coverage while providing amreliable connection.
No speed loss thanks to dual 5 GHz radio. It applies on the same elevation level; different floors require enabling 2.4 GHz for better performance.

Cons

CleanAir - Put this technology into all the APs.
GPS Tracker - I can't understand why only the Cisco 1570 has this option as well as larger Cisco 3800 APs. Why can't this be in all APs so they can be easily mapped in Google for positioning and later plotted for the coverage zone.

For some reason they user VLAN 0 as the native VLAN. I am used to VLAN 1 being the native VLAN for all solutions I work with. I had to retrain my mind to understand that Mojo uses VLAN 0. It may be a minor detail, but it would be nice if they have VLAN 1 as the native, like other vendors.
It would be nice to be able to create a predictive survey report using the web GUI.

Because until now I haven't had any issues or cases where I needed to create a ticket with Tac from Cisco related to their performance or availability.They have a small size that permits or allows you to install it in each place that you need to mount it, their design is small and appropriate for every kind of office.

Usability

Cisco Aironet 2800 Series Access Points 6.6

Based on 3 answers

Lately we had less issues. Most probably because we reduced the number of Wireless LAN controllers. So less trouble for upgrades as well.We don't have any access point in stand alone mode. It's something I don't suggest, unless it's just for a small office and not for a larger company with different sites.

Reliability and Availability

Based on 2 answers

This access point does not usually randomly shut off. It can't happen but it's generally due to a power over ethernet failures which would could be considered a user error.

Performance

Cisco Aironet 2800 Series Access Points 8.6

Based on 11 answers

The global performance for the 2800 Aironet series is quite high, this is why I gave an 8. Users are not complaining about network coverage or speed capacity. The AUX port is also attached on the switch with the LAG feature which is a nice to have feature to increase the bandwidth.

Based on 1 answer

The times I have needed to contact support, they were excellent. Making sure that the solution was operating at the level of what was expected, and taking the time to explain any features that I may have had a question about. They are customer-focused and strive to satisfy the customer every time.

Make sure to get a professional wireless assessment before purchasing AP's. That way you will only purchase what you need and know where the wiring infrastructure will need to be to streamline the installation and tuning process.

Alternatives Considered

D-Link Wireless access points and D-Link Wireless controllers were being used in our organization previously. They were working well with a small number of users. But as we started to expand wireless coverage and the user base started to grow they became less efficient and frequent disconnection and low-speed issues were faced. Cisco Aironet Access points overcome these issues and have been working great in our environment.

Scalability

Cisco Aironet 2800 Series Access Points 8.7

Based on 10 answers

I would assume that most people getting a large amount of these AP's would also be investing in a Cisco controller that combines all the management of these into one simple to use location. That's where it truly shines when you can deploy 10 of these in under an hour because the controller makes setup so simple.

Return on Investment

The main thing is you can set them and forget about them, they don't cause a lot of problems so you can focus on other things.
They have performed well, in areas where we needed more APs to offload, these can handle more users.
