Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Small Business 100 Series Wireless Access Points
Before work-from-home, Internet deliverability was the no. 1 priority for any office. If employees can't get good Wi-Fi connections in every corner of the office, it leads to lost productivity, employee unhappiness, and also impacts the ability for teams to have meetings with customers and potential customers--directly impacting the success of those conversations, demos, etc. Wi-Fi access points are definitely a whole-company issue and are used by everyone, almost every minute of every day.
- Encryption/Security
- Coverage
- Scalability
- UI/UX simplicity
- Meant for too small of a business
- Lack of full control for IT team
- Uptime was 100%
- No complaints from employees when it was used
We ended up actually moving from Cisco WAPs into a full Ubiquiti stack, as our IT people preferred the coverage and more "enterprise" IT-focused features and the flexibility of a setup not necessarily marketed and designed for small businesses. I'd say at 40-50 people, you may outgrow this setup as well.
