Cisco AP 541N Wireless Access Point  
A Strong, Secure Wireless Solution for Your Business Growth
Empower Your Employees—And Your Business.
For 
Small 
Business
It sounds simple enough: providing employees the flexibility to 
stay connected to applications and customers, and ensuring 
guests have secure connectivity at the business site. But 
without an integrated solution, setting up, configuring and 
managing this technology can be daunting, especially without 
an IT staff. Cisco has the solution. The Cisco AP 541N is an 
802.11n, dual-band clustering access point built for small 
businesses.
Advanced clustering intelligence on the Cisco AP 541N lets 
you effortlessly manage your wireless network as a single 
system – without worrying about interference between access 
points, and without having to configure each access point as 
a separate device. It supports mobile data, voice over wireless 
LAN, wireless video monitoring, and secure partner and guest 
access. And best of all, it’s easy to set up, configure, and 
manage.
With the Cisco AP 541N Wireless Access Point, you get:
•  Advanced clustering intelligence: The Cisco AP 541N 
small business wireless access point is built with clustering 
capabilities. Clustering is the ability of a wireless access 
point to form a dynamic, configuration-aware group, 
called a cluster. Clusters are formed with other similarly 
designed access points in the same network and subnet, 
allowing a single point of management without the need of 
a controller.
•  Simple setup and configuration: The Cisco AP 541N is  
designed to be installed as a standalone device, integrate 
with other Cisco Small Business Pro solutions and as part of 
the Cisco Smart Business Communications System (SBCS) 
allowing you to implement even advanced voice and video 
applications quickly and easily. 
•  Robust wireless coverage and performance: The Cisco 
AP 541N is an 802.11n MIMO (multiple-input, multipleoutput) dual-band wireless solution. The 802.11n wireless 
standard builds on previous-generation (802.11b/g/a) 
wireless technologies to deliver greater range, reliability, 
and up to nine times the performance. 
•  An integrated solution: As part of the Cisco Small  
Business Pro family of solutions, the Cisco AP 541N works 
together with other Cisco Small Business Pro products to 
deliver powerful, integrated systems that are competitively 
priced and easy to deploy and manage.
•  Services and Support: Cisco Small Business Pro Service 
provides peace of mind support coverage to help you 
get the most value from your Cisco Small Business Pro 
solution. The Cisco AP 541N solution comes with three 
years device-level service. This includes telephone and 
online chat support through the Cisco Small Business 
Support Center, software updates and bug fixes, and 
access to the Cisco Small Business Support Community. If 
a wireless access point needs to be replaced, the service 
also includes Next Business Day advance hardware 
replacement where available (same day ship in other areas).
