- What is the lead time on getting an 881W? Basically how long after ordering it will it be on the east coast?
- Will a Cisco Aeronet still work with the 881W and will it work with any other router out there to supply a WAP and an IP Address.

I have the same question as Terry. My stake center currently uses a Cisco ASA 5505 firewall and two Cisco Aeronet 1200 WAPs. One of the WAPs is colocated with the ASA, and is connected to the POE port for power. The other WAP is in one of the clerks' offices at the other end of the building. It is connected to a hub there, because the clerk's computer is also connected to that hub.harddrive wrote:Will a Cisco Aeronet still work with the 881W and will it work with any other router out there to supply a WAP and an IP Address.
We have two buildings where we successfully use older Aironet 1200 WAPs with newer 881W firewalls. They work just fine (in fact, those buildings don't have the problems reported in 881W issues, so they actually work better than the 1041n WAPs right now).drepouille wrote:Will the Aeronet 1200 WAP work with the 881W?

The 1401 WAPs get their power from the 881W through PoE. I wonder if the 1200 WAPs can also get PoE if they are directly connected to the 881W, rather than through a switch or hub.aebrown wrote:So if you move to the 881W you'll need to get a power injector for each WAP.
I was basing my response on the topic Cisco 881W and POE port, which says that the 881W devices that the Church orders do not support PoE. Perhaps that has changed.drepouille wrote:The 1401 WAPs get their power from the 881W through PoE.
