    As an IT technician I was involved in the deployment and configuration of some access points. Work was easy to attach it to the ceiling and connect to the CAT6A network cable. The controller located in the main building transmits all settings remotely in less than 15 minutes to the access point and it is already operational. The WAP 150 has a compact style and looks great on the ceiling because the antennas are internal and radiate omnidirectionally to users. We created three networks, one 2.4Ghz, the second 5Ghz and the other exclusively for patients.

    Pros
    Cisco
    • Compact access point with internal antennas and easy ceiling mounting.
    • They are reliable and fast access points that work on the 802.11ac wave protocol with speeds of up to 1.2gbps at 5ghz. But they also work at 2.4 GHz.
    • Allows you to create a cluster of up to 4 access points on site and thereby manage radio frequency, power, and other network resources.
    • Access points can be managed on management and monitoring platforms with Cisco FindIT Network Management.
    • Allows to be installation easily with ethernet network cable.

    Cons
    Cisco
    • I see that this model does not have the ability to mitigate strong interference at 2.4 GHz.
    • It is a model that does not serve auditors.

    The products of the Cisco Small Business 100 Series Wireless Access Points family are an excellent option within the segment in which they compete. We provide many enterprise-level features with costs close to entry-level. It allows us to maintain centralized administration, scale easily, and not lose observability, and it maintains the quality and robustness that Cisco has accustomed us to.
