Rated 5 out of 5 by from nullI absolutely love my Cisco WLC systems. In conjunction with Cisco Wireless Control System, maintaining and monitoring my wireless network is a breeze. Very easy to add LWAPs when the discovery is configured. Just plug in a LWAP and everything is configured automatically.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from nullI have two of these controllers and they have been rock solid. Easy to configure and update. The web interface is a little convoluted in parts due to poor wording but overall very manageable. Enhancements continually being added, covers a range of WAPs and has provided stable wireless at both sites.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice Appliance Migrating is a painSo went from 5510 to this guy and was really hard to migrate even with Cisco's help.You need to be on the latest IOS on the 5510 to do a half decent migration.You will need to redo all of your VPN's and a few other things still.
