The NME-AIR-WLC12-K9 is a 12-access-point wireless LAN controller network module that integrates into Cisco 2800 and 3800 Series routers to centrally manage APs, RF settings, security policies, and QoS.
This module is fully compatible with Cisco 2800 and 3800 Series Integrated Services Routers equipped with a Network Module Enhanced (NME) slot.
It supports up to 12 lightweight Cisco access points, allowing centralized configuration, monitoring, and RF management for mid-sized deployments.
The module delivers up to 300 Mbps aggregate throughput for wireless traffic, optimized through hardware-based processing and Cisco IOS integration.
No additional licenses are required—the module is pre-licensed to manage up to 12 APs out of the box, simplifying deployment and budgeting.
Power down the router, insert the module into the NME slot, secure the module bracket, power up, and then configure via Cisco IOS CLI or the web-based GUI.
No, this module does not provide PoE. You must connect APs to a separate PoE-capable switch or injector.
It supports WPA2-Enterprise, 802.1X with RADIUS, guest access, rogue AP detection, and wireless intrusion prevention for robust network protection.
Download the latest Cisco IOS and controller image from Cisco.com, then upgrade via the web GUI or CLI using TFTP, FTP, or USB.
This standalone module does not provide built-in redundancy; for HA, deploy external Cisco controllers or use smart-redundancy features in your network design.
Yes, the NME-AIR-WLC12-K9 integrates with Cisco Prime Infrastructure for centralized monitoring, reporting, and lifecycle management.
The controller supports WMM, custom QoS profiles, bandwidth limiting, and traffic classification to prioritize voice, video, and mission-critical data.
Configure dynamic VLAN assignment via RADIUS attributes or manually map SSIDs to specific VLANs in the controller’s GUI or CLI.
No, the NME-AIR-WLC12-K9 is managed on-premises through local CLI, web GUI, or Cisco Prime; it does not offer Cisco Meraki-style cloud management.
The module includes a 90-day Cisco hardware replacement warranty; optional SMARTnet support provides extended hardware replacement and Cisco TAC access.
Use the controller’s built-in RRM (Radio Resource Management) to automatically adjust channels, power levels, and load-balancing for optimal coverage and capacity.
