Hi!
We are running a 5520 WLC and we have got many different AP models running.
We have many AIR-AP2802I-E-K9 APs that are running in different ways, meaning some are running by PoE switch and some are running with a Power injectors.
Some PoE switches we have can only PoE and not PoE+, example is SG-300 switches.
When i check the power consumption that the AIR-AP2802I-E-K9 APs are using on the SG-300 switches i see that the AIR-AP2802I-E-K9 are only using 9.5 watts.
When these APs are using a power injectors then they use about 25 watts!
What is the practical difference between 9.5 and 25 watts?
I did some Googling and find that the antennas number on an AP maybe affected with low wattage! is that right?
How and where to see the difference?
AIR-AP2802I-E-K9 model is 4x4 do they work like 1x1 with low wattage? where can i show this ?
We have thousands of laptops that are 2x2 so 1x1 is bad i think !
Same is right with APs like 1850 model!
Another question is about Clientlink 4.0!
When i check AIR-AP2802I-E-K9 i see that legacy beamforming is disabled, how to show that Clientlink 4.0 is enabled on AIR-AP2802I-E-K9 model?
