Cisco Aironet Series 1600/2600/3600 Access Point Deployment Guide, Release 7.5
Differences between the AP 3600 and AP 2600
The AP 2600 is very similar to the AP 3600 but is a 3X4:3SS so with the AP 2600 - Client Link does
not beamform to 3-ss clients, however; it does beamform at legacy and 1 & 2 Spatial Stream rates.
The AP 3600 has slightly higher performance and beamforms to legacy 1, 2, 3 spatial stream rates and
.11ac rates when using the optional .11ac module.
Unlike the AP 3600, the AP 2600 Access Point does not support optional modules but it does have a little
higher antenna gain in the 2.4 GHz band. A lot of effort has been put in to make sure the coverage area
is uniform between different models of Access Points so that if you surveyed for a 3600 Series AP, the
AP 2600 can also be substituted without performing another survey.
Figure 9 AP 2600 is same size as AP 3600 but does not support radio modules
