Thank you for your reply. Can you tell three reasons why people like to upgrade AP from 1131ag to 3602? 

Thank you again

[Philip D'Ath]

I think the 1131 is only 802.11n. The 3602 will probably be 802.11ac withh 4x4 MIMO.


It will only substantially faster connections.


However you should be considering upgrading to a 3802 rather than the 3602. The 3602 is quite old now.

1131 only supports 802.11abg. 3600 supports 802.11abgn and with an 802.11ac module, it can support 802.11ac as well.
3600 has CleanAir. 1131 doesn't.
Honestly, I wouldn't purchase a 3600 because it's already end-of-sale and any software support will be very limited.

Very good explanation! 

If I'd like to upgrade WLC from 8.0.140.0 to 8.0.152.0, do you think these two kinds of ap in the same WLC would have the same effect? That is why I want to know the difference of these two AP

[Leo Laohoo]

None.
The only difference is the speed changes when clients roam from the 1131 to the 3600( and vice versa). People will complain.

[wfqk]

Can we say ALL 1100 are older than all 3600?　and all 3600 have more features than all 1100? 

[Leo Laohoo]

1130 is older. 3600 is newer than the 1130 but still old.
