Unlock Best Pricing with In-stock, Ready-to-Ship Products

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:

  1. Cisco WAP371 Wireless-AC/N Dual Radio Access Point with Single Point Setup
  2. Cisco WAP361 WirelessAC/N Dual Radio Wall Plate Access Point with PoE (new)
  3. Cisco WAP351 Wireless-N Dual Radio Access Point with 5-Port Switch
  4. 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
