Cisco ISR 1000 Series wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) specifications
Primary features and benefits – Cisco 110x, 111x, 112x
- 802.11ac Wave 2 with 2×2:2 MIMO technology uses two spatial streams when operating in SU-MIMO or MU-MIMO (multiuser, multiple-input, multiple-output) mode, offering 867-Mbps rates to multiple 802.11ac Wave 2-capable clients simultaneously.
- Flexible deployment through the Mobility Express solution is ideal for small to medium-sized deployments. Easy setup allows the ISR 1000 Series (similar to the Cisco Aironet® 1815i Access Point) to be deployed on networks without a physical controller.
- Authentication and security: Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2); 802.11i, 802.11r standards support; 802.1X, RADIUS, Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) support.
- Default 8.8 AP autonomous or Mobility Express release. Option to select 8.8 Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) WLC image.
- EOL14898: Cisco announces the end-of-sale and end-of-life dates for all Wi-Fi5 based ISR 1000 Series Routers. For more information refer to the official end of sale announcement here.
Primary features and benefits – Cisco 1131 only (Wi-Fi 6)
- 2×2 uplink/downlink MU-MIMO with two spatial streams to multiple 802.11ax-capable clients simultaneously.
- Flexible deployment through the Embedded Wireless Controller solution is ideal for small to medium-sized deployments. Easy setup allows the ISR 1000 Series (similar to the Cisco Catalyst 9105AXI Access Point) to be deployed on networks without a physical controller.
- Authentication and security: AES for WPA2; 802.11r standards support; 802.1X, RADIUS, AAA support.
- Default Cisco IOS XE Software Release 17.7.1. Option to select 17.7.1 CAPWAP WLC image.
- Cisco AireOS software is not supported on embedded access points in Cisco ISR 1131 Series Routers.
- Uplink/downlink Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) splits the bandwidth into smaller frequency allocations called Resource Units (RUs), which can be assigned to individual clients in both the downlink and uplink directions to reduce overhead and latency.
- TWT (Target Wake Time) allows the client to stay asleep and to wake up only at prescheduled (target) times to exchange data with the access point. This offers significant energy savings for battery-operated devices, up to 3x to 4x the savings achieved by 802.11n and 802.11ac.
- Spatial Reuse, or BSS (Basic Service Set) Coloring allows the access points and their clients to differentiate between BSSs, thus permitting more simultaneous transmissions.
- The embedded Wi-Fi 6 access point can be configured by scanning the QR code on the bottom panel of the router. Configuration steps are detailed in this guide.
- Before the access point can be configured, the router must be configured for communication between the access point and the ISR 1000 Series. Find step-by-step instructions for day-0 configuration here.

Cisco IOS Software licensing and packaging
Technology packages and feature licenses
A single Cisco IOS XE Universal image encompassing all functions is delivered with the platform. Advanced features can be enabled simply by activating a software license on the Universal image. Technology packages and feature licenses, enabled through right-to-use licenses, simplify software delivery and decrease the operational costs of deploying new features.
Figure 17.
Technology licenses
Four major technology licenses are available on the Cisco ISR 1000 Series; these licenses can be activated through the Cisco software activation process identified at the Cisco Software Activation homepage. The following licenses are available:
- IP Base: This technology package is available as the default.
- Application Experience (APP): This license includes data and application performance features.
- Unified Communications (UC): This license supports basic voice communication features.
- Security (SEC) or Security with No Payload Encryption (SEC-NPE): This license includes features for securing network infrastructure. Cisco Virtual Office is now supported on the 1100-8P and 1100-4P models with a SEC license.
◦ Performance (VPERF): This license includes features that improve IP security performance multifold.
◦ IP Security (HSEC): Further improves device performance to maximum potential.
Cisco DNA and Routing licenses
The Cisco SD-WAN subscriptions are aligned across three subscription licenses, each expanding functionally.
Cisco DNA stack:
- Cisco DNA Essentials
- Cisco DNA Advantage
- Cisco DNA Premier
Network stack:
- Network Essentials
- Network Advantage
Cisco DNA Essentials covers all types of connectivity and router lifecycle management, with support for network and application visibility coupled with basic on-premises and transport security. Cisco DNA Advantage provides advanced WAN topologies, as well as application-aware policies supported by enhanced network security. Cisco DNA Premier provides cloud connectivity with unlimited segmentation, advanced application optimization, and network analytics, secured by advanced threat protection.
Smart Licensing
Cisco Smart Licensing is a flexible licensing model that provides you with an easier, faster, and more consistent way to purchase and manage software across the Cisco portfolio and across your organization. It is secure – you control what users can access. With Smart Licensing you get:
- Easy activation: Smart Licensing establishes a pool of software licenses that can be used across the entire organization—no more PAKs (product activation keys).
- Unified management: My Cisco Entitlements provides a complete view into all your Cisco products and services in an easy-to-use portal, so you always know what you have and what you are using.
- License flexibility: Your software is not node-locked to your hardware, so you can easily use and transfer licenses as needed.
To use Smart Licensing, you must first set up a Smart Account on Cisco Software Central.
For a more detailed overview of Cisco licensing, refer to the Cisco Smart Licensing Guide.
For more information on Cisco SD-WAN and Routing licensing features, refer to the Cisco DNA Software Licensing Tiers.
