Cisco Small Business Wireless Access Points

Cisco Small Business 500 Series Wireless Access Points

The 

Cisco WAP551 and WAP561 Wireless-N access points use selectable or concurrent 

dual-band radios for improved coverage and user capacity. Gigabit Ethernet LAN 
interfaces with Power over Ethernet (PoE) support flexible installation and reduce 
cabling and wiring cost, and intelligent quality-of-service (QoS) features let you prioritize 
bandwidth-sensitive traffic for voice over IP (VoIP) and video applications. SmartSignal 
Antenna technology lets you extend the reach of your wireless network by optimizing 
coverage, reception, and performance. The Single Point Setup clustering capability 
makes it easy to set up, configure, and manage a growing wireless network. You can 
deploy multiple access points and push a single configuration to all the devices within 
the cluster, managing your wireless network as a single system without worrying about 
interference between access points—and without having to configure each access point 
as a separate device. 

Key Features:
• Selectable or concurrent dual-band radio 

provides better Wi-Fi coverage, and 

higher Wi-Fi capacity in the workplace

• Ease of configuration and administration with 

Single Point Setup technology (controllerless)

• Strong security and QoS features
• Highly secure guest access with captive 

portal capability

• Enables the use of multiple access points on 

a network

• Easy to deploy, administer, and secure 

a wireless network
