Review on Cisco Aironet 1815I-B-K9C: Controllerless Wi-Fi Access Point with 802.11ac Wave 2 Technology and Internal Antenna by Raymundo Miller

Revainrating 4 out of 5

they work well in a big house

I have installed three of these in a large house and the coverage and speed are excellent. Roaming from one access point to another works without any problems. The installation process requires the use of a serial console port, although no console cable is included (however, any Cisco console cable will work). You need a POE switch or POE injector (standard POE injectors are fine) as they don't come with injectors and don't support external power supplies. AirOS software. As expected, I needed a Smart Net contract (about $25/year per AP) to download the newer version. It worked great and I am happy with this purchase. I probably wouldn't recommend them to Aunt Millie or anyone unfamiliar with networking, but once set up I expect them to work for many years without attention.

Pros
  • SECURITY: Device Security: Cisco Umbrella (OpenDNS), Identity PSK (iPSK), IP and DNS ACL. Air Defense: Spectrum Analysis, Wireless Intrusion Detection (wIDS). Network Security: 802.1x on AP, profiling and policy AAA
Cons
  • Requires socket
