Great APs with some limitations

These Cisco 240AC APs work great! And they are easy to install and configure. There are just a few caveats. First, they can only be configured over a Wi-Fi connection. They cannot be configured from the wired side of the network. This is probably intentional and not a huge disadvantage, but it's a bit of a nuisance since it means I have to remember to unplug my admin computer from the wired network before doing any configuration (or status) tasks. And second, the cavity wall anchors that come with these units are rubbish. Just throw them away and buy good ones.

Pros
