Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Catalyst 9100 Access Points
Cisco 3800 Series
We have been using Cisco Catalyst Access Points for many years. The first WLC I supported was WiSM2, 5508 and 2504. We later upgrade them to the 5520 and 3504. Currently, we are deploying the 9800-40 and 9800L across campuses. We also have multiple access points like the 3700, 3800, 1815w, 9130, and 9166. We used them to provide wireless connectivity throughout our campuses for staff, students and visitors.
