Limited scalability: Users have expressed that the WAP125 Access Point does not support more than 10 active users, which could restrict its usability in larger setups and hinder expansion as business needs grow.

Interference issues at 2.4 GHz: Reviewers have pointed out that this model lacks the capability to effectively handle strong interference at 2.4 GHz frequencies, potentially leading to performance issues in certain environments where network congestion is a concern.

Lack of future-ready technology: Users have mentioned that the device is not yet compatible with Wifi 6 - 802.11ax, indicating a limitation in terms of staying up-to-date with evolving technology standards and potentially requiring an upgrade sooner than anticipated.

Cisco Small Business 100 Series Wireless Access Points are designed to provide simple installation, intuitive web-based configuration, and an integrated setup wizard to make them easy to use. Models include the Cisco WAP 150, and the WAP 125. The WAP 131 and WAP 121 older models are end of sale.

Before work-from-home, Internet deliverability was the no. 1 priority for any office. If employees can't get good Wi-Fi connections in every corner of the office, it leads to lost productivity, employee unhappiness, and also impacts the ability for teams to have meetings with customers and potential customers--directly impacting the success of those conversations, demos, etc. Wi-Fi access points are definitely a whole-company issue and are used by everyone, almost every minute of every day.

Cisco SMB 150 Series Wireless Access Points were sized through a Site Survey and installed in select administrative buildings to create a reliable WLAN network for staff and patient use. It's a job that took almost three months to scale with the Site Survey, and then the company bought and installed it in the buildings. We have been using it for more than one year to access the internet using mobile devices, notebooks, and desktops with Wi-Fi bundle. The Wireless network arrived to create the mobility scenario and offer users access to the internet while waiting for their medical appointments at the clinics.

One of the benefits was creating a wireless network for employees and another for the company's patients.
The creation of the visitor network was very well thought out. We create an exclusive vlan separate from the internal network that provides internet to the patient at a reduced speed.
We use a physical controller, but this WAP150 Access Point can manage a clustered mini-network.
Works at gigabit speed using 802.11ac protocol.

I see that this model does not have the ability to mitigate strong interference at 2.4 GHz.
It is a model that does not serve auditors.

Sustainable AP.
Economic AP.
AP with high gigabit thoughput rates.
Compact and indoor AP.
Ability to cluster with other hardware.
11ac.

Flexible internet access using 2.4 and 5Ghz and with good coverage.
Lifetime Unlimited Warranty.

We have been using some WAP150 access points in company branches for almost two years now. These are great value access points with Cisco quality and durability. Our scenario has a maximum of three per location and is enough to serve small branches. The WAP150 and other models we use in the company are managed remotely by Cisco FindIT Network Management software. These devices work in the 802.11ac wave protocol, which guarantees speeds of up to 1.2Gbps in the 5ghz radio frequency. It's ideal for small business scenarios and doesn't rely on a main controller because the access point can cluster up to four devices.

Compact access point with internal antennas and easy ceiling mounting.
They are reliable and fast access points that work on the 802.11ac wave protocol with speeds of up to 1.2gbps at 5ghz. But they also work at 2.4 GHz.
Allows you to create a cluster of up to 4 access points on site and thereby manage radio frequency, power, and other network resources.
Access points can be managed on management and monitoring platforms with Cisco FindIT Network Management.
Allows to be installation easily with ethernet network cable.

They are not ready for Wifi 6 - 802.11ax yet.

It has a POE port and can be powered by a POE switch.
Create a cluster of up to four access points with up to 120 connected users per cluster.
They are fast with gibabit speed.
It can be managed by cluster or management software.
Plug and play.
Low energy consumption.

Corporate mobility for branch office users with mobile device access.
Optimum performance and security in the wireless network.

The Cisco Small Business 100 Series Wireless Access Points solution has been used by the company since the COVID-19 pandemic. We had to work from home for a long time and with that the company decided to provide a Cisco WAP125 access point for us to work and access the intranet network and make videoconferences. The equipment is excellent, it has a very good signal coverage range that surprised me, the signal managed to reach the two floors of my house. The access point helped solve the work problem for us while unfortunately the covid-19 pandemic was critical in the world.

It features an 802.11ac access point with 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz.
Installed on my desk.
An important step was to perform corporate authentication using 802.1x to gain access to the network.
It has the ability to create Vlans.

The WAP125 Access Point does not support more than 10 active users.

It has ipv4 and ipv6 support
GUI interface to manage the hardware.
Internet with corporate security .
Vlans
Visitor Portal.
POE to power the access point.

Increased productivity with the use of notebooks and tablets.
Mobility and allowed to work from home during the pandemic.

In our case, we use the Cisco Small Business 100 Series Wireless Access Points solution in our more than 100 points of presence distributed throughout the country. In these sites we must handle the mixed complexity of administrative or commercial users as well as operational users who use different types of mobile devices to carry out their daily tasks. Additionally, we must provide connectivity to customers who visit us in our stores, who on many occasions must carry out operations through our online platforms.
