What is a refurbished device?
A refurbished device is a pre-owned item that has been restored to meet high-quality standards. At Reboot IT, we adhere to strict quality guidelines, ensuring that our refurbished products are not the same as used or secondhand items. We meticulously clean, test, and assess each device, replacing worn parts with high-quality components.

The Cisco Aironet 1602I (AIR-CAP1602I-Z-K9) is a controller-based 802.11n enterprise wireless access point designed for indoor environments. With dual-band 2x2 MIMO and internal antennas, it delivers reliable coverage on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. Powered via PoE+ and managed through a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller, it provides centralised security, RF management, and policy enforcement across the wireless network. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.
The 1602I suits indoor enterprise deployments where centralised management and reliable 802.11n coverage are the key requirements. With 2x2 MIMO and up to 300 Mbps per band, it handles typical office workloads — email, file access, web browsing, and VoIP — comfortably across a standard indoor cell. Internal antennas produce a broad, consistent coverage pattern suited to open-plan offices, meeting rooms, and corridors.
Being controller-based, the 1602I requires a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) or Cisco Mobility Express to operate. In controller-managed environments, this enables centralised SSID management, band steering, client load balancing, and rogue detection across all APs from a single interface, reducing day-to-day management overhead significantly.
For organisations still running 802.11n infrastructure or expanding an existing Cisco wireless deployment, the 1602I delivers dependable coverage at a significantly lower cost than new 802.11ac equivalents where the workload does not require AC-tier speeds.

Does the 1602I work as a standalone access point?
No — the 1602I is a controller-based AP and requires a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) to operate. It cannot function as a standalone or home access point.

The 1602I is compatible with Cisco WLC software from version 7.3 onwards. Check Cisco's compatibility matrix for your specific WLC model and software version.
Does this AP support 802.11ac?
No — the 1602I is an 802.11n device. If you need 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) performance, consider the Cisco Aironet 2702I or 3702I series.
