Overview

Cisco Systems Wireless N-Dual Radio Selectable Band Access Point (WAP561AK9)

Cisco WAP551: Selectable radio band (2.4 or 5 GHz)

Cisco WAP561: Dual concurrent radios (2.4 and 5 GHz)

Single radio (WAP551) or dual radio (WAP561) OFDM

This device is essentially identical to the Cisco WAP551 besides the additional radio (and additional included Mini PCIe slot to accommodate it).

• The Cisco logo is silkscreened on the top of the board in the FCC photos.

"2976375903" is silkscreened on the bottom.

"2976387400" is silkscreened on the wireless modules.

• The wireless modules are using three Skyworks (SiGe) SE2594L / 2594L Dual-Band WLAN FEMs.

The wireless modules would appear to be using BCM43431... or something else other than BCM4331 with one extra character and the same specs..

The PoE injector used in the FCC filing is a PowerDsine PD-9001G/AC - an 802.3at midspan.
