Cisco today added new routers, access points, switches and more to its small business offerings
The new access points include the WAP121 single band 802.11bgn and WAP321 selectable dual-band 802.11abgn. Both have compact designs with internal antennas that can be desk, wall or ceiling mounted.
Both can be powered by AC power adapter or 802.3af PoE and support IPv6, WEP/WPA/WPA2 consumer and Enterprise (RADIUS) authentication, Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) and multiple VLAN-based SSIDs (WAP121:4, WAP321:8).

The WAP121 and WAP321 are shipping now at MSRPs of $173 and $310, respectively.
Cisco has expanded its RV small business router series with the RV180 and RV180W. Positioned between the RV120W and RV220W, the RV180/RV180W have Gigabit ports (1 WAN, 4 LAN) and support 10 gateway-to-gateway IPsec, 10 of Cisco’s "Quick VPN" client and 10 PPTP client VPN tunnels.
The RV180W has a 2.4 GHz 802.11bgn access point supporting four VLAN-based SSIDs, WDS bridging/repeating and WEP/WPA/WPA2 consumer and Enterprise wireless security.
