Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Aironet 2800 Series Access Points

We deployed Cisco Aironet 2802 [Series] Access Points along with its controller, Cisco 3504 Wireless Controller, in 2018. Thus far, the wireless infrastructure is working very well. The main highlight of this wireless infrastructure is seamless roaming and client migration from one Access Point to another. We use the MAC Address filtering feature and the system is working well according to our needs.
  • Rouge AP discovery & mitigation
  • Centralized management of all connected APs
  • Seamless roaming of wireless clients
  • Very slow booting time
  • The process of OS/Firmware updates requires a lot of time
  • GUI is complex
  • Power requirement is very high
  • Reset process is also very complex

  • Reduced ethernet cabling cost
  • Increased wireless mobility
  • Reduced downtime due to smooth wireless client movement between access points
Overall performance is good. The devices performed fine under moderate workloads and the wireless client association is good. Previously, we were facing client disconnection and sticky wireless clients [due] to access points. That problem was resolved by Cisco Aironet 2802 [Series] Access Points. The connection reliability is also good.
We have over thirty access points distributed in different areas of the organization for which we have created multiple SSIDs for segregation, according to departments with different VLANs. The controller has [an] approximately one hundred fifty access point limit which is enough for our requirements and future needs. The ability to scale is good and if needed the second controller could be added for more scalability.
Cisco Aironet 2800 Series Access Points is very well suited for large enterprises and high-density environments. It is not well suited for high ceiling buildings like warehouses and storage places because of low antenna gain. In our main office, it is working very well. For around thirty or so wireless devices this access point works very well and after forty or so wireless devices it starts to suffer.
