Hi

The difference won't be the client connected to the AP but more all radio stuff:

- antennas

- 3700 is more designed for high density 

- addon slot for 3G on 3700

Here a comparaison :

Hi Supportlan,

Thanks for your replied, would you mind give me more hints how the 3700 is more designed for high density? because of the MIMO radio design: spatial streams or other factors ?

[Francesco Molino · Accepted solution]

Yes, you have 4x4 MIMO compared on 2700 where you have 3x7.

If you see the client count, there have same limitations.

I don't know in which environment you want to deploy the wifi infrastructure but for medium companies AP 2700 are enough. I deploy AP 3700 in very large companies (very large campus with a lot of users).

Thanks
