There is no specific model. You just need to make sure the AP is supported in h-reap/flexconnect.

Hello ST,

As per your query i can suggest you the following solution-

There is no specific model proposed by Cisco for AP on remote site. And regarding your second query please refer to Cisco Partner Learning.

Hope this will help you.

Thanks Scott / AB

what is the difference between h-reap & flexconnect, when do i configure either of them

[Scott Fella]

They are the same... depends on what code version you are running on the WLC.  It can be refered to as h-reap or with the new code, FlexConnect.  You use them if you have remote sites and you don't want all the traffic to be tunneled back to the WLC.
