Hi, I started doing this as a test last month 1810W AP’s with Cradle, here are my findings so far:
- No extra installation costs due to the cradle, it looks nice. - 4 extra ports with PoE out for the phone. Which can be configured individually. - Ability to have a local SSID configured by the user “just for the sake of any device that won’t work on the WLC SSID”. Things to consider: - The AP and the clients should be on the same VLAN so the user can access the AP and configures the local SSID. - A bug I faced when I convert the AP to OEAP mode which disables the CDP and uses LLDP, I need the OEAP feature to use the local SSID. - Power requirements for 1810W is PoE+ to run the PoE out port, which is strange, as the older models use PoE 702 and the newer ones use PoE 1815! So you might need to consider buying the power adapter along with the AP. - Make sure to disable DTLS on the AP when converting it to OEAP as it will kill the throughput due to encryption/decryption. Other than that it seems like the right choice. Yahya Jaber.

Hi All, We are looking into building a new student housing building and are considering going Wifi only for network connectivity. We were wondering if anyone else has gone the route of only allowing network connectivity via wireless. If so, can you share your experience, lessons learned, and advice.
