Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers

The controller is used to connect wlan-devices to the LAN. Connections are tunneled from APs to the controller. For certain SSIDs the tunnel gets extended to DMZ. Furthermore the controller helps troubleshooting connectivity issues and access problems.
Bothering is the fact you need for HA two licenses for each AP...
  • tunneling traffic to and from AP
  • forward software Images to AP
  • deploy ssid
  • smaller license consumption for HA
  • support of a wider range of AP generations
  • update procedure
  • connecting APs
  • pushing SW to APs
  • monitoring APs
The unified one controller eases working against many in switch included.
