Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Aironet and Catalyst 2800 Series Access Points
We use Cisco Aironet Access Points as our main point of wireless connection through the corporate office. Mainly we use this model inside the office and it has met our expectations in a great way.
Since the deployment of these models of access points including other ones like the 2700 series we have never had issues with performance or availability of the services that access points offers to the corporate office.

The manufacturing quality of the access point is superior with Cisco even if the environment where you are going to deploy the access point is clean and is a perfect building. It's better to ensure every kind of scenarios where you can encounter dangers to your infrastructure. I have used another brand like Rukus and the manufacturing quality sometimes seems like a toy I don't like that.
Using Cisco Aironet and Catalyst 2800 Series Access Points
200 - They give us the main connection for users, we don't use cabling nodes or ethernet cables to connect us to the network. Every user that is on the corporate [network] is a mobile user with laptops that are constantly on the move.
Sometimes we are on our desktops, sometimes in a meeting room, or sometimes in the terrace. We connect to the network through the wireless service.

1 - They need to have knowledge about the basics of networking and of course they needs to have knowledge about the basics of wireless networks such as, what kind of interference exists, how to configure, manage and operate an access point stand alone or with a wireless controller.
I recommend taking the Cisco course Cisco IUWNE to know the basics for the wireless network.

One time we were having issues with roaming. For some clients in the 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz the roaming wasn't working normally. So we decided to talk to the TAC of Cisco.
They told me some features that I need to turn on to improve the performance of the roaming. After doing this and upgrading the firmware of the controller as a tip from the tac the roaming began to work perfectly.
