Overall Satisfaction with Cisco 8540 Wireless Controller

The Cisco 8540 Wireless Controller is key to managing all of our different access points. I like that we have full control of the access points as well. I have not noticed any outages yet and our users have not reported any issues. For remote workers, a dependable wireless controller like this is key.
  • Full control of access points.
  • Very customizable Wi-Fi.
  • Features are plentiful.
  • Pricy.
  • Top grade wireless access.
  • Ease of configuration.
Cisco 8540 is just a newer and more modern product. Our company grew out of the 3504, which did a fine job at what it does. We just needed something more powerful and that can handle way more users. Software is more recent on the 8540, probably because it is a newer product.

Since we work from home now, we need to have options of access points should one not work. Therefore, configuration on these are vital. For a less appropriate situation, I'd say that a small start up business probably could get away with something much less expensive and that this particular [controller] would be beneficial when the company starts growing rapidly.
