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.

Description

Cisco Aironet 1852I — 802.11ac Wave 2 Dual-Band Enterprise Access Point

The Cisco Aironet 1852I (AIR-AP1852I-Z-K9) is a high-density 802.11ac Wave 2 enterprise access point delivering 4×4 MIMO on 5 GHz (up to 1.3 Gbps) and 3×3 MIMO on 2.4 GHz (up to 450 Mbps) through integrated internal antennas. Designed for large offices, campuses, and education environments, it supports both controller-based (Cisco WLC / Catalyst Center) and standalone Mobility Express deployments. This unit ships with a 12-month Reboot IT warranty and is professionally tested at our Melbourne facility.

Key Benefits

  • 802.11ac Wave 2 MU-MIMO: 5 GHz 4×4 MIMO with multi-user MIMO transmits simultaneously to multiple Wave 2 clients — doubles effective capacity in high-density environments.
  • Aggregate 1.7 Gbps throughput: 1.3 Gbps on 5 GHz plus 450 Mbps on 2.4 GHz in dual-band concurrent operation across a single radio unit.
  • Single-cable PoE deployment: IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) powered — one cable carries both data and power, no separate outlet or injector required for full-power operation.
  • Mobility Express mode: Runs an embedded virtual WLC supporting up to 25 APs, enabling small-site deployments without dedicated Cisco WLC hardware.
  • CleanAir spectrum intelligence: Identifies and classifies RF interference sources (Bluetooth, video cameras, microwave ovens) to automatically mitigate channel conflicts.
  • 12-month Reboot IT warranty: Professionally inspected, tested, and graded at our Melbourne facility — Australian warranty and support since 2001.

Performance in Use

The 1852I was engineered for high-density wireless environments where legacy 802.11n APs create throughput bottlenecks. Its Wave 2 MU-MIMO capability allows simultaneous data transmission to up to three 802.11ac Wave 2 clients at once — a meaningful improvement in classrooms, conference centres, and open-plan offices where dozens of devices connect concurrently. BandSelect steers capable dual-band clients to the cleaner 5 GHz band, reducing congestion on 2.4 GHz while ClientLink beamforming focuses signal energy toward individual clients to improve edge-of-range performance.

In a Cisco Unified Wireless environment, the AP auto-registers with a WLC over CAPWAP and receives its full configuration centrally. No per-AP manual setup is required beyond physical installation. For smaller sites running Mobility Express, the embedded virtual controller supports up to 25 APs while the Nighthawk app (or web GUI) provides intuitive setup. VideoStream multicast-to-unicast conversion ensures reliable delivery of IPTV, lecture capture, and digital signage streams without degrading general WiFi performance for other users on the same AP.

Is It Right for You?

✓ Best For:
• Cisco WLC-managed campus or office WiFi deployments
• High-density environments: open-plan offices, classrooms, conference centres
• Small sites deploying Mobility Express without a physical WLC
• IT teams refreshing ageing 802.11n infrastructure to Wave 2 		✗ Not Recommended For:
• Home users — requires Cisco WLC or Mobility Express; no consumer interface
• Non-Cisco wireless environments (Meraki, Ruckus, Aruba)
• Outdoor installations — indoor model only
• Deployments needing external high-gain antennas (E/N antenna models for that)

Condition Grades

Grade Cosmetic Condition Functional Condition
A — Excellent Minimal marks or scratches only visible on close inspection. No cracks or structural damage. Fully tested. All ports, radios, and LEDs verified operational.
B — Good Light wear consistent with enterprise deployment — minor scuffs or marks on housing. Fully tested. All ports, radios, and LEDs verified operational.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this AP work without a Cisco WLC?

Yes, via Mobility Express mode. The 1852I can run an embedded virtual controller supporting up to 25 APs, making it suitable for small sites without a dedicated WLC. For larger deployments, a Cisco WLC (2500, 5500, Catalyst 9800 series) or Catalyst Center is required.

Does a power adapter come included?

No. The AP is powered via PoE. An IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) switch port is recommended for full transmit power. 802.3af standard PoE will power the unit but may operate at reduced radio power. A PoE injector can be purchased separately if your switch lacks PoE.

What is the difference between the "I" and "E" model?

The "I" in AIR-AP1852I denotes internal antennas — suitable for standard indoor ceiling-mount deployments. The "E" model has external RP-TNC connectors for optional directional or high-gain antennas, suited to longer-range or specialised coverage requirements.

What shipping options are available?

Shipping costs apply based on size and destination — rates are calculated at checkout.

What does the 12-month warranty cover?

Reboot IT's 12-month warranty covers hardware defects and functional failures. Physical damage caused after delivery is excluded. Contact our Melbourne support team for warranty claims.

All-in-one Solution for Home Office

I was looking for an in-expensive all-in-one solution for my home office to replace my existing desktop and monitor. I found this EliteOne 800 on reboot IT for under $200. I wasn't sure what to expect. It arrived within two days!!!! I upgraded the RAM, replaced the HDD and installed Windows 11. This is unbeatable value and was the cheapest price online. Coupled with a 3-month warranty, Reboot IT are by far the best online refurbished retailer I have used. Awesome!

Fair tech for price

Fair tech for price, good specs for era, serves the purpose. The black keyboard is an interesting rubber like texture clearly by design to pad the screen and avoid the keyboard touching. Screen is great. Still looking for magic formula to enable computer use in the bright bright sunshine. Keyboard taps are loud for someone who likes silent touch. The perfect PC has to exist, like build a bear.

Works excellently as advertised.

The laptop was sold with a warning about worn keycaps. In fact they had been obviously vandalised (ex school laptops, perhaps?). The keyboard worked fine, and the rest of the laptop too. I'm using it as a file server, so I don't need the keyboard much. So very pleased, and also pleased with reboot-it's service - as always, excellent, and quick responses to any queries.
