Hi, 1. As i said earlier, 1800 series AP dont support mesh mode means it will not work as MAP. 2. In a Cisco wireless backhaul network, traffic can be bridged between MAPs and RAPs. This traffic can be from wired devices that are being bridged by the wireless mesh or CAPWAP traffic from the mesh access points. This traffic is always AES encrypted when it crosses a wireless mesh link such as a wireless backhaul. 3. More info about distance, check this guide: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/technotes/8-8/b_mesh_88/b_mesh_88_chapter_01.html#ID494     Regards Dont forget to rate helpful posts ...

Make sure:   1. To create dynamic interface corerctly on WLC and then assign to respective WLANs. 2. AP must be joined to WLC 3. AP connected port must be an acces sports and WLC connected port must be trunk port on swicth side.   Regards Dont forget to arte helpful posts ... View more
