HWIC-AP-AG-N Cisco 802.11a/b/g Access Point HWIC for Australia and New Zealand

The HWIC-AP-AG-N is a Cisco 802.11a/b/g access point HWIC for Australia and New Zealand, where the N marks the 5 GHz Australia/NZ configuration. The card puts a wireless LAN access point inside a Cisco modular router and has two onboard radios, one for 5 GHz 802.11a and one for 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g, working at the same time at up to 54 Mbps each.

It is a single-wide card measuring 3.09 x 4.90 x 0.76 in. (W x D x H) and weighing 163.29 g (0.36 lb) with its antennas. A pair of removable RP-TNC swivel-mount omnidirectional dipole antennas comes with the card, and the RP-TNC connectors also take Cisco single-band 2.4 GHz and dual-band 2.4/5 GHz antennas. The wireless interfaces can be set up as an IEEE 802.1d bridge or as a Layer 3 routed interface.

Security covers WPA2/AES, 802.1X, LEAP, PEAP and EAP-TLS, and the radios can run as a root or non-root bridge. Only one access point HWIC is supported per router, and the HWIC-AP-AG-N and HWIC-AP-AG-P need Cisco IOS 12.4(11)XJ or later. Supported routers are the Cisco 1841, 2801, 2811, 2821, 2851, 3825 and 3845, including the CISCO2811 router and the CISCO3825 router. The spare number is HWIC-AP-AG-N=. More cards for these routers are in Cisco interface cards.
