Question 1

Can you use this wap with any router or must you use a cisco router for it to work?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Cisco Business 140AC access point can work with any router and using Cisco router is not a "must". Be aware that the access point is powered via PoE (802.3af/at capable device) or power injector. Management is done through Cisco Business Mobile App (Android or iOS) or Cisco Business Dashboard. More information about the product you can find in the following link: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/wireless/business-100-series-access-points/smb-01-bus-140ac-ap-ds-cte-en.html

Question 2

Can you do mac address filtering directly in the ap or is that something that can only be managed externally?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can restrict or permit a particular client joining your network by enabling the MAC Filtering on the AP.  For more information you can refer to the product administration guide (Configuring WLAN Security section): https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/access_point/csbap/CBW_Admin/Admin/en_US/b_Cisco_AP_Admin_Guide.pdf

Does it support wpa3 enterprise? 10.4 version supports wpa3 sae aka personal. enterprise encryption may have higher hardware req. that can slow speed

Accepted Answer

Hi Jedi,

The CBWs do support only WPA3 personal, WPA2 personal/enterprise and RADIUS. You can refer to the product online device emulator at https://www.cisco.com/web/fw/tools/cisco-business/emulators/wireless/10-4-1-0/screens/dashboard.html#/wlan and see all the feature-functionalieites.

Question 4

Can you please provide a link to the actual tool needed to tighten the security screw? Torx M2x5.5mm is not helpful.

Accepted Answer

Hello Ed,

You will just need a screwdriver that supports torx/torx bits like https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08P29XFHK/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?_encoding=UTF8&aaxitk=9801e0c0d00795e5966ab8f0d1ed4e5e&hsa_cr_id=9402232520101&pd_rd_plhdr=t&pd_rd_r=099695ba-7a50-4244-b4e1-3ca6acabdd64&pd_rd_w=BL9r5&pd_rd_wg=tUSUU&ref_=sbx_be_s_sparkle_mcd_asin_0_title or https://www.amazon.com/Syntus-Precision-Screwdriver-Electronics-Cellphone/dp/B071PB4RPV/ref=sr_1_10?dchild=1&keywords=m2+x+5.5+Torx+security+screwdriver&qid=1630311780&s=industrial&sr=1-10
