Product Description

From the Manufacturer

From the Manufacturer The Cisco WAP4410N Wireless Access Point delivers highly secure, high-performance wireless network access to your employees. Expanded coverage helps ensure that employees can access the network anywhere in the workplace. The 802.11n standard is designed to support even the most bandwidth-intensive applications, such as voice and video. Enhanced security protects your business information and gives you control over who can access your network. With an easy-to-use web interface, you can provide wireless connectivity in no time at all. Adding wireless access to your existing business network is the best way to keep your employees productive and connected wherever work occurs in the workplace.

Cisco WAP4410N Wireless-N Access Point with PoE enablement and Advanced Security

Features 1 Gigabit Ethernet port to transfer data at high speeds

The Cisco WAP4410N Wireless-N Access Point lets you connect Wireless-N (802.11n), Wireless-G (802.11g), and Wireless-B (802.11b) devices to your wired network, making it easy to provide wireless access in the workplace. Power over Ethernet (PoE) support makes the access point easy to install - you can mount it anywhere, even without ready access to a power plug. With appropriate PoE support at the other end, such as a PoE switch, you need to run only one cable to the access point to deliver both data and power. Of course, you can also use the included AC adapter if power is available nearby or you are not connecting to a PoE switch or injector. Configuration is a snap with the web browser-based configuration utility. This intuitive tool allows you to take full advantage of all the access point security and quality of service features with an easy to use management interface.

Secure Wireless To protect your data and privacy, the Cisco Wireless-N Access Point supports the industrial-strength wireless security of Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), encoding all your wireless transmissions with powerful encryption. The MAC address filter lets you decide exactly who has access to your wireless network, and advanced logging keeps you apprised of access attempts. The rogue access point detection capability notifies the administrator when an unauthorized access point is detected in the airspace. The WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) feature facilitates simple and secure deployment of security in the wireless network.

Embedded quality-of-service (QoS) functionality maintains excellence in video and voice communications. The access point includes a Gigabit Ethernet LAN interface to transfer data at high speeds. The combination of the high performance Gigabit Ethernet interface and the increased speeds delivered by the 802.11n standard makes this access point ideal for applications such as high-bandwidth data or video.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Business-Class Wireless-N Access Point, October 6, 2009

This review is from: Cisco WAP4410N Wireless-N Access Point - PoE/Advanced Security (Personal Computers)

I recently purchased two of these Cisco WAP4410N WAPs. The goal was to help my brother-in-law cover his large home with good quality wireless. Based on my experience doing previous WAP installations, my guess was that is would take between three and six WAPs to full cover his large house (which has lots of brick and steel) with good quality coverage. I was impressed that by strategically positioning the units I was able to cover the entire house with only two of these WAPs. The coverage consisted of three floors (one was a finished basement).

The setup of these units was simple, the firmware is stable, and configuration was straight=forward. Since they were setup they have worked flawlessly and required no further attention.

The only thing a bit unusual (for those used to Netgear, Linksys, etc.) is that you have to setup a Cisco account (no charge just register online) to be able to download firmware, etc. This ended being unnecessary because the firmware in the unit was up-to-date.

If you're looking for really good WAPs that support Wireless-N and have lots of configuration options (e.g., Mesh, Multiple SSIDs, etc.) I highly recommend this unit. It has a slightly higher price than other (consumer units) you can buy, but it definitely deserves the "business-class" label that Cisco gives it.

4.0 out of 5 stars WAP4410 running review, July 12, 2009

This review is from: Cisco WAP4410N Wireless-N Access Point - PoE/Advanced Security (Personal Computers)

I just installed 2 WAP4410's on a Linksys RVS4000 router and brought them up in a basic configuration just to get the system running. I will be tuning the configuration over the next few weeks and will report the results.

Right out of the box, the units worked as advertised with zero hassle. I updated the firmware, changed the admin password, assigned both static IP addresses and resolved the host name to enable roaming which has worked well thus far. I initially enabled SSID broadcast to make it easier to find for setup, but I will eventually disable. So far (anecdotal) the speed seems good, and the APs have had no issues with a mix of a/b/g/n devices. I have no plans to enable PoE, as there are known issues with the link speed dropping to 100mb/s. So far, so good.

It has now been a month, and I have enabled a second guest SSID and have configured links with a number different devices (WGA600n gaming adapter for an Xbox360, WET610N for printer with no hassle at all). The performance and range have been excellent. No problems with the VLAN or the QoS functions for streaming.

In the final analysis; a little pricey but an excellent product. 5 Stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not sure what all the complaining and low ratings are about, May 29, 2011

This review is from: Cisco WAP4410N Wireless-N Access Point - PoE/Advanced Security (Personal Computers)

After reading some of the stronger complaints and one star ratings, I still bought the WAP4410N, based primarily upon my experience with Cisco products. Once received, I immediately downloaded the latest firmware update: WAP4410N-fw-2.0.2.1-K9.img. Connected the access point to my computer and followed the quick start instructions provided. Flashed the firmware and rebooted the access point. Set the configuration to work with my gigabit network configuration and then reset my HP wireless printers and wireless computers.

This works as designed, no issues and no drops. So I'm not sure what those 'experts' are saying when they complain. Maybe they were on an older version of the firmware, maybe it was something else, but this access point is much stronger than the old Netgear WG302 access point we had.

As far as experience goes, I have 25 years in IT with a good bit of that in network appliances. This is a good small business/home business network appliance. And I do recommend it, above and beyond the negative comments posted here. And we do intend to buy more.

The price is good and the warranty is 3 years.
