hi all
i have problem with my AP . im using linsys wap300n connecting to cisco switch 2960 POE 24 port
the internet connection always dropped also AP not forwarding the traffic so i cant also access local resources or ping to any device
the issue getting solved by resetting the device and reconfigure again with changing the switch port but after matter of time the issue comes back again
so the problem is from the brand of the AP and if i use one from the following AP brands my problem gonna be fixed and internet connection will be stable ?
what do u recommend for me ?
my company users number around 40 and less than

Hi Amr,
Any of those AP models will work as all those enterprise grade. From below link you can compare those AP features
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/wireless/access-points/product-comparison.html
2800/3800/4800 are the top AP models & require POE+, so it may not work with existing switch you got.
You have to configure those AP properly & can't expect everything will be good from off the shelf. You have to buy one of those APs with maintenance support in order to get required software from cisco.com. Then you can configure it in Mobility Express mode, see below deployment guide.

these AP need licenses also for software upgrade ? same as switches and routers?
if i need to upgrade the software of the AP i have to pay ? for downloading the firmware and upgrade ?
so you advice me to buy it from amazon ? better ?
what about warranty of this access point ? also these kind of APs can stay working for many years i mean is it a good quality with heavy duty working ?
thank patoberli so much
