The new Cisco WAP361 is the member of Cisco Small Business 300 family. Now, including the new Cisco WAP361 Wall-Plate Access Point, the Cisco Small Business 300 Series have four models now:
- Cisco WAP371 Wireless-AC/N Dual Radio Access Point with Single Point Setup
- Cisco WAP361 Wireless–AC/N Dual Radio Wall Plate Access Point with PoE (new)
- Cisco WAP351 Wireless-N Dual Radio Access Point with 5-Port Switch
- Cisco WAP321 Wireless-N Access Point with Single Point Setup
The WAP361 is an ideal solution for cost-sensitive hospitality or classroom deployments.
WAP361 access point features:
- Concurrent dual-band radio support speeds up to 1.2 Gbps
- 2×2 MIMO with two spatial streams on both 5.0 GHz and 2.4 GHz
- A sleek design with multiple internal antennas and a versatile mounting kit, so you can mount it directly to an electrical or data junction box
- Limited lifetime hardware warranty
Some key benefits:
- Single Point Setup, a controller-less technology, simplifies the deployment and management of multiple access points, without requiring additional hardware
- A captive portal support facilitates highly secure, customized guest access with multiple rights and roles
