AP's

I'm working with a client who looking to install the lowest-cost Cisco AP's on each of his 7 locations. The goal is to provide WI-FI for his customers and obtain their email addresses before they connect. What would be the best model to use? These are small stores with less than 20 visitors a day.

Thank you,

Sarah

Sarah,

It really depends on your budget but to be honest, your better off using Meraki so these small sites.

Cisco has a promo (end 31 July 2018): Cisco's WiFi Promo: Buy 2 APs, get 1 AP FREE

Load one of the AP with Mobility Express and turn it into a mini-WLC.

As they are remote sites, I'd also suggest going the Meraki route for this setup.

Thank you for be response, Scott, Leo and Patoberli.

There is requirement that the visitor to any of stores provide him email address before being able to join the wireless network. Can this be achieved with the models suggested?

Thanks, Sarah
