Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Aironet 2800 Series Access Points
Cisco 2800 Series
The Cisco Aironet Access Point line up has been a part of our business for years now. We did have a mixed environment of other AP types at that point but now we're fully rolled out on all Aironet devices for all our access points. Doing this allowed us to have only one type of AP to manage and being able to do this all in one place.
- Fairly priced
- Well built
- Great performance
- Units do get pretty hot during high usage.
- The mount could have a more versatile design.
- Out of the box firmware is always an old version.
- We moved from 130 access points across all sites to under 100 with the same coverage!.
- Managing all devices in one place has saved a lot of time.
- Less time spent during setup when using with a Cisco WLC.
I would say we went from an hour setup on our existing (not centralized management) access points to literally a few minutes per device. Let me explain. Once you combine these with a centralized Cisco Wireless Controller and you configure it up for your environment, you can simply plug in these AP's and they get their firmware and config in under a minute. Then they're just ready to go!
