What Accesspoint

Hi all

Im struggeling finding a accesspoint. Can you help?

We are down to 2. Cisco Meraki or Zyxel WAC:
https://us.hardware.info/comparisontable/2238257/geen_username/access-points-comparison-table-03022017-0212-am

The comparison is 1 thing. I see the difference. The products are same in price for us.

What would you consider? The main difference is Meraki being cloud, where Zyxel is not.

Best regards

Which model of the Cisco Meraki are you looking at? And also, I would tell you that licensing is a big difference between the two. If you're looking for a product where you buy it and have no further costs, then do not buy the Meraki. But also, you should tell us exactly what you're looking for, because that's going to allow us to better help answer your question.

I'm looking for the best.

The price is the same. Its a Meraki MR33. Not on the list :S I did something wrong.

But if specs are pretty much equal, and price too, which would you pick and why?
With Meraki, you will see the cost for the first year. You have to renew the licensing to be able to continue using it. It's just something that you should be aware of at a minimum. The units themselves work well, but the costs aren't just a pay once and done forever type of deal.
Price for first 6 years are equal. This is fixed.

So its only product comparison.

Best regards Mike Kristensen
All things equal, I'd go with the Meraki more because of the company behind it and because I've used other units without any issues. Admittedly, Zyxel's APs I haven't used (I have used some of their wireless adapters, which worked with relatively few problems).
