1. Cisco WAP361 Wireless-AC N Dual Radio Wall Plate Access Point with PoE
The new Cisco WAP361 is the member of Cisco Small Business 300 family.
Including the new Cisco WAP361 Wall-Plate Access Point, the Cisco Small Business
300 Series have four models now:
Cisco WAP371 Wireless-AC/N Dual Radio Access Point with Single Point Setup
Cisco WAP361 Wireless-AC/N Dual Radio Wall Plate Access Point with PoE
(new)
Cisco WAP351 Wireless-N Dual Radio Access Point with 5-Port Switch
Cisco WAP321 Wireless-N Access Point with Single Point Setup
The WAP361 is an ideal solution for cost-sensitive hospitality or classroom
deployments.
WAP361 access point features:
 Concurrent dual-band radio support speeds up to 1.2 Gbps
 2x2 MIMO with two spatial streams on both 5.0 GHz and 2.4 GHz
 A sleek design with multiple internal antennas and a versatile mounting kit,
so you can mount it directly to an electrical or data junction box
 Limited lifetime hardware warranty
Some key benefits:
 Single Point Setup, a controller-less technology, simplifies the deployment
and management of multiple access points, without requiring additional
hardware
 A captive portal support facilitates highly secure, customized guest access
with multiple rights and roles

More Features-Cisco WAP361
● Concurrent dual-band radio support up to 867 Mbps on a 5.0-Ghz radio and 300
Mbps on a 2.4-Ghz radio to increase capacity and coverage
● 2x2 MIMO with two spatial streams on both 5.0 GHz and 2.4 GHz allows for
maximum performance
● Single Point Setup, a controller-less technology, simplifies the deployment and
management of multiple access points, without requiring additional hardware
● A 5-port Gigabit Ethernet LAN switch supports both PoE powered device (PD) and
powered sourcing equipment (PSE) so that IP devices can be powered and the
access point can be powered by the backbone switch
● Robust security, including WPA2, 802.1X with RADIUS secure authentication, and
rogue access point detection, help protect sensitive business information

5. ● Captive portal support facilitates highly secure, customized guest access with
multiple rights and roles
● Simple installation and an intuitive web-based configuration and wizard facilitate
fast, simple deployment and setup in minutes
● Support for PoE allows for easy installation without expensive additional wiring
● A sleek design with multiple internal antennas and a versatile mounting kit allows
for mounts directly to an electrical or data junction box
● Intelligent quality of service (QoS) prioritizes network traffic to help keep
critical network applications running at top performance
● Power-saving sleep mode and port control features help to increase energy
efficiency
● Workgroup Bridge mode lets you expand your network by wirelessly connecting to
a second Ethernet network
● Support for IPv6 lets you deploy future networking applications and operating
systems without costly upgrades
● A limited lifetime hardware warranty provides peace of mind
