which better AIR-AP1832I-I-K9C and AIR-AP1832I-I-K9

[amralrazzaz]

i have quotation price for 1832 and 1815 ? can u please check the price ? and which one is better to go with ? 

should i use WLC  device to operate these APs? i dont like to use WLC for now so the AP will work normally correct ?

 whats the difference between AIR-AP1832I-I-K9C and AIR-AP1832I-I-K9 ? ihave 2 quote one with c and one without ? so whats the difference and which one is better ?

AIR-AP1832I-I-K9C if i got this so i can use it as normal access point and in future if i buy another so i can use it as controller for adding another kind of access points? 

im not using WLC device ? its only AP

If you don’t want to purchase a WLC the you need the part number ending in ‘C’. That is mobility express access point that has a controller built in.

Cisco Aironet 1832i Access Point: Indoor environments, with internal antennas
● AIR-AP1832I-x-K9: Dual-band, controller-based 802.11a/g/n/ac, Wave 2
● AIR-AP1832I-x-K9C: Dual-band, controller-based 802.11a/g/n/ac, Wave 2, configurable, with default software Mobility Express
◦ Regulatory domains: (x = regulatory domain)
◦ For Mobility Express, part number AIR-AP1832I-x-K9C offers default software option Mobility Express

The 1832 would probably be a better fit for you than the 1815. Also the mobility express doesn’t have all the feature you get with a WLC. However, the features you get with ME might be enough for your needs. You will have to look at the data sheet and other documents to figure out what features are there and not.

thanks a lot for ur precious info very usefull

so which one should i got ? AIR-AP1832I-x-K9C or normal one without c ?

if i got AIR-AP1832I-x-K9C so in future i can buy another ? and let the it control it ? 

so ill buy c brand for now and non c brand in future so i can control it ?

yes i dont need WLC DEVICE so its enough to me for using ap as limited feature of control

so can i know how to confugre two ssid one for employee and other for guest ? and is that require 2 AP ? or one only ?

i mean i can buy c and non c ap so ill use AIR-AP1832I-x-K9C as employee and controller and AIR-AP1832I-x-K9 this one for guest ?
