Comparison of the 3600 and 2600 Series

The AP 3600 has a modular design that offers future protection with optional .11ac and security
modules. The AP 2600 does not support optional modules. However, the AP 2600 does have a slightly
higher antenna gain in the 2.4 GHz band.
The AP3600 and the AP2600 are the same size, but it is easy to identify each one by noting whether the
Cisco logo has an embossed frame (AP 3600) or not (AP 2600). (See Figure 9.)
