We currently have AP-205s, we are looking at buying AP-207 instead for deployment in a student accommodation building. The differences I see are the 2 omni downtilt vs 4, the 2X2:2SS SU-MIMO vs 2x2:2 and the proprietary console port; optional adapter cable available vs RJ45 console port. Obviously the AP-207 has the beacons that the AP-205 doesn't.
I understand that the reduced number of aerials will have an impact on coverage and supported users, but does anyone have any information about how much of a reduction is involved?
There is a significant price difference, so I am inclined towards the AP-207, unless this will create coverage or number of client connection problems.
Thanks
