✔ Pros:Industry-leading Wi-Fi 6E performance with 11.4 Gbps aggregate throughput; Tri-band simultaneous operation eliminates band steering constraints; Enterprise-grade security with WPA3 and 802.1X support; Extensive management features via Catalyst Center (formerly DNA Center); High client density support ideal for dense deployments
✘ Cons:Premium pricing compared to Wi-Fi 6 (non-E) competitors; Requires PoE++ power infrastructure (95W) which may necessitate switch upgrades; 6 GHz spectrum adoption still limited in many regions reducing immediate ROI; Complex configuration learning curve for smaller IT teams; Overkill for small office/light-density environments
