AIR-AP1142N-E-K9 and AIR-AP1131AG-E-KP compatibility

[147369258a]

Hello,

I have question about compatibility. I had set up two Cisco AP AIR-AP1131AG-E-KP. They are set under one SSID whith clients roaming between them. I want to add one or two new APs. I would like to  use AIR-AP1142N-E-K9. Are they compatible? Are there any issuess using these two types together?

Thanks for answer.

They are compatible, just have to understand that the 1142 is 802.11n capable and the 1131 is not.

Thanks,

Scott

Mix of 1130X and 114X shouldn't give issue on coverage, few things to note.

At some point down the line newer WLC code won't support 1130 and also will be EOL.

Roaming may cause an issue since the AP hardware/chipset is different for both, also N clients performance.

Cisco 1130 and 1240 series access points support DTLS data encryption with software-based encryption, and 1140, 1250, 1260, and 3500 series access points support DTLS data encryption with hardware-based encryption.

Q. Is Cisco VideoStream technology supported on the Cisco Aironet® 1142 Access Point?

A. Yes, VideoStream is supported on the Cisco Aironet 1040, 1140, 1250, 1260, 3500, 1130, and 1240 Series access points. For more information, see the release notes for the specific access points you're interested in.

Q. Is it correct to have a mixed system with Cisco Aironet 1131 and Cisco Aironet 3500 Access Points?

A. You can use them on the same controller, but our recommendation is to deploy Cisco Aironet 3500s in monitor mode to provide spectrum analysis over existing Cisco Aironet 1130 deployments. Generally it is poor network design to mix data-serving 11n and non-11n access points in the same coverage area.
