Q. What wireless LAN (WLAN) radio is used in Cisco 819HGW and Cisco 819HWD ISRs?
A. The Cisco 819HGW and 819HWD support Cisco Access Point 802 (AP802 Dual Radio contains two different
types of wireless radio that can support connections on 2.4 GHz used by 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n; and
5 GHz used by 802.11a and 802.11n. AP802 has feature parity (Mesh AP function is still under validation) with
Cisco Aironet 3500, please refer to AP3500 data sheet for detailed information.
Q. Can AP802 radio of Cisco 819HGW and 819HWD operate at unified mode?
A. AP802 of Cisco 819HGW and 819HWD can operate at both autonomous mode and unified mode.
Q. What is required to operate AP802 of Cisco 819HGW and 819HWD under unified mode?
A. Cisco 819HGW and 819HWD must have the Advanced IP Services feature set in order to enable unified mode
for the embedded access point. The boot image type of the access point must be configured on the host router
to enable unified mode. After this enable command-line interface (CLI) is invoked, the access point must be
rebooted in order to go to unified mode. Make sure that the wireless LAN controller is running the Release 7.3
(7.3.101.0) WLC image.
Q. What images are supported by AP802 of Cisco 819HGW and 819HWD?
A. AP802 of Cisco 819HGW and 819HWD is supported in KMR1(Unified) and 12.4(25d)JAX1(Autonomous)
releases. Recovery image 15.2(2)JA release is required to upgrade AP802 to unified mode. Autonomous
(ap802-k9w7) and recovery image (ap802-rcvk9w8) will be installed on the system by default.
Q. What Multiple-input and Multiple-output (MIMO) technology is supported by AP802 of Cisco 819HGW and
819HWD?
A. AP802 of Cisco 819HGW and 819HWD supports 2X3 MIMO technology with two spatial streams that provide
increased throughput, reliability, and predictability.
Q. What connectors are supported by AP802 of Cisco 819HGW and 819HWD?
A. Three RP-TNC connectors are supported by AP802 of Cisco 819HGW and 819HWD. The left (A) and right (B)
antenna support both 2.4Ghz/5.0Ghz at transmit and receive. The middle antenna (C) supports only receive.
Q. What Wi-Fi antenna options are available for AP802 of Cisco 819HGW and 819HWD?
A. AP802 of Cisco 819HGW and 819HWD support various external Wi-Fi antennas that cover different
deployment scenarios, including the multiband swivel-mount dipole antenna, Cisco Aironet
®
3- and 4-dBi
omnidirectional antennas, and 2.4- and 5.0-GHz MIMO wall-mount omnidirectional antennas. Please refer to
Table 5 and the Cisco 819 Integrated Service Router Hardware Installation Guide for more information.
