Hardware Features

Wireless LAN Connectivity

The embedded Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™, 802.11a/b/g/n-compliant wireless AP is preinstalled in the router
as an optional feature. The Cisco 860 series routers support autonomous features and network
configurations. The Cisco 880 series and 890 series routers support both autonomous and unified
features and network configurations.
The wireless AP does not have an external console port. Use the router's console port as described in
Chapter 3, "Connecting a Terminal or PC to the Console Port."
