Review on Cisco WAP581 Wireless AC Wave 2 Access Point, Dual Radio, 2.5GbE LAN, Lifetime Protection (WAP581-A-K9) by Tim Morrison

Works great but I'm a Cisco certified guy, I have a PoE switch at home. I don't know how well this would work for the average person, especially setting it up. As far as I could tell they didn't over complicate it, it looked pretty easy but I said it's easy to set up, it's like your mechanic said it was easy to change valves in your car engine, right Cedric Grolet said making dessert was easy. Performance is good, but you need a switch that can be configured to have both Ethernet ports on the access point active at the same time. Here the access point uses the default LAG for configuration. This fixed some issues with wireless performance at home due to the sheer number of devices trying to transmit data. The security options are also good, especially for a small business/home product. Life gets a lot easier when you have a PoE switch, for example I use a 2960S PoE+ switch instead of an outlet. In fact, this is my only real downside to the product: no power adapter in the box for the average home/small home. businessman. I don't think too many home routers or switches support PoE+. This probably won't be an issue for most buyers of this product, especially at this price point. However, this keeps the product from getting 5 stars and the home consumer should be aware of that immediately.
