Curation Review
✔ Pros:Wi-Fi 6E with 6 GHz band support enables higher capacity and lower interference; 10 Gbps uplink reduces network bottlenecks; Excellent range and penetration for enterprise deployments; High client density support (250+ devices); Thread border router functionality for IoT networks; Advanced security features including 802.11w and WPA3
✘ Cons:Requires PoE++ infrastructure (95W) which may not be available in legacy setups; 6 GHz band adoption still in early stages with limited client device support; Premium pricing makes it suitable only for high-performance deployments; Configuration and management require Cisco DNA/Meraki expertise; Power consumption higher than previous generation APs
