LWAP 1010 and 802.11n

[swakelen]

We are looking at upgrading a wireless network to for 802.11n. If we upgrade the 4402 WLC to support this, would the older AP1010 access points support 802.11n wireless?

[Raul Manzano Barroso]

You will need an 802.11n Ap to support 802.11n (with full capabilities).

You can support 802.11n client but only at the 802.11b/g or 802.11a datarates.

According to the Ap´s you buy it´s more probably you can not use these APs (ap 1010) due to the use of sofware that support the newer ap´s but not the older.

Airespace 1010 is supported until release 4.2

Best regards.

APs that support 802.11n are the following:

1040, 1140, 1250, 1260 and 3500i/e. 

NOTE that the 1260 and the 3500 will only support antenna gain of up to 6 dBm.
