I also didn’t see the need for 3800s over 2800s. We started deploying 2800s last month, having upgraded software to 8.2.151.0 ahead of time. No complaints, granted it is summer and they haven’t been used much yet.
Some of the 2800s are replacing 3700s in a gym so we can take advantage of the dual-band radio to balance load across more 5 GHz radios.

Historically we’ve stayed in the 3000 series but for the differences between the 2800 and 3800, we thought the 2800 was enough for our environment.

For those of you that have Cisco 3800 series APs in production, how have they been working for you recently? We currently purchase 3700 series APs as our standard for new installs and replacement of our 3500 series APs, but are now considering switching to the 3800 series. I heard there were a lot of issues with them at first, but was wondering if they’re still troublesome now that they’ve been out in the wild for some time. Also, does anyone currently have issues using Prime to manage them?
