team,

i configured a 2504 lan controller with 5 number 1850 lightweight ap.Problem was that i am getting low coverage.After penitrating a single wall there is a  decrease in 10 dbi..Tpc is set as 1....

1700 series access point have good coverage  than 1850??

Hello Amal,


Cisco AP 1850 getting low range

Below listed are some of the benefits of 1700 and 1850 access points , based on your requirement you can select either 1700 or 1850 series AP.
 
Benefit of 1700 series
 
802.11ac Wave 1 support with 3x3 multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) and two spatial streams - Delivers higher rates over a greater range for more capacity and reliability than competing access points. Provides up to three times more bandwidth than 802.11n networks.
 
Cisco CleanAir® Express Spectrum Intelligence - Detects RF interference and provides basic spectrum analysis capabilities while simplifying ongoing operations across 20-, 40-, and 80-MHz-wide channels
 
Optimized access point roaming - Directs client devices to associate with the access point in their coverage range, offering the fastest data rate available
 
MIMO equalization - Boosts uplink performance and reliability by reducing the impact of signal fade
 
Benifits of 1850 series
 
●   802.11ac Wave 2 with 4x4 multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology with four spatial streams when operating in single-user MIMO mode and three spatial streams while operating in multiuser MIMO mode, offering 1.7-Gbps rates for more capacity and reliability than competing access points.
 
●   Multiuser MIMO, allowing transmission of data to multiple 802.11ac Wave 2 capable clients simultaneously to improve client experience. Prior to multiuser MIMO, 802.11n and 802.11ac Wave 1 access points could transmit data to only one client at a time, typically referred to as single-user MIMO.
 
●   Transmit beamforming technology to improve downlink performance to mobile devices, including one-, two-, and three-spatial-stream devices on 802.11ac, while improving battery life on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.
 
●   Flexible deployment mode through the Cisco Mobility Express Solution is ideal for small to medium-sized deployments that require multiple access points. Easy setup allows the 1850 Series to be deployed on networks without a physical controller.
