The Cisco NME-AIR-WLC8-K9 is an integrated 8-access-point wireless LAN controller module for Cisco 2800 and 3800 series routers, enabling centralized Wi-Fi management and policy enforcement.
This module is fully compatible with Cisco 2800 Series (e.g., 2811, 2821, 2851) and 3800 Series (e.g., 3825, 3845, 3825) Integrated Services Routers.
The module supports up to 8 Cisco lightweight access points, delivering unified configuration, RF management, and seamless roaming for mid-sized deployments.
No additional license is required. The NME-AIR-WLC8-K9 includes built-in support for up to 8 APs, with higher-capacity licenses available if you upgrade to a 2504 or 5508 standalone controller.
The module supports 802.11a/b/g/n, automatic RF management, client load balancing, rogue AP detection, guest access, WPA2-Enterprise, and 802.1X authentication.
Power off the router, insert the module into an available Network Module slot, secure with the retention screw, then power on and verify slot recognition using the CLI command “show inventory.”
Use global configuration mode to define the controller: 1. “wireless domain name <name>” 2. “wireless management interface <interface>” 3. “ap group <name>” 4. “ap group <name> policy <policy-profile>” 5. “wireless lifecycle ap join stats enable.”
It supports Cisco High Availability protocols (N+1 AP failover) when paired with another controller module or Cisco Mobility Express redundancy, ensuring seamless AP reconnection in case of failover.
Yes. Download the Cisco IOS wireless controller image from Cisco’s software portal and use the “archive download-sw” CLI command to upgrade without disrupting AP service.
Cisco CleanAir® and Radio Resource Management (RRM) dynamically monitor and mitigate interference, adjust power and channels, and maintain optimal spectrum performance.
Use Cisco Prime to discover the controller by IP, add SNMP credentials, and import the device for unified monitoring, configuration backups, and reporting.
The controller enforces WPA2/WPA3-Enterprise with 802.1X, Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), Dynamic Pre-Shared Keys (DPSK), and the Cisco TrustSec policy framework.
Use the “show wireless stats client” CLI commands or Cisco Prime dashboards to view client distribution, data rates, signal strength, channel utilization, and error metrics.
Yes. It includes built-in guest access with customizable captive portal templates, self-registration, sponsor approval workflows, and event logging.
The NME-AIR-WLC8-K9 comes with Cisco’s limited lifetime hardware warranty and access to the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) for software and configuration support.
To manage more than 8 APs, deploy a standalone Cisco 2504, 3504, or 5508 wireless controller and migrate the existing AP inventory using the controller’s mobility group feature.
