3502 without a controller?

ekological — Sun, 04 Jul 2021 03:49:37 GMT

Hi guys,

I'm interested in a AIR-CAP3502I-A-K9 for home office use. I want the best connectivity possible and am tired of consumer grade hardware. Is it possible to get the access point running without a controller?

Thanks,

Chester

The 3500 wireless access point requires a controller.

For home office use, you can choose either a 1040 or 1140 and it will suit you just fine. The only thing unique about the 3500 is CleanAir spectrum which a home office don't really require. You can negate the over-crowded and over-used 2.4 Ghz spectrum by disabling the 802.11b data rates or disabling the radio.

If one were to do that, what's the downside? Do you lose all of the features that make the 3500 a 3500?

George,

You need to do something about your cough. I don't want to catch whatever you are having.
