Thanks everyone for the good quick feedback. I think we'll be making the switch to the 3800s - most likely the 3802E model as our existing APs are mainly wall-mounted. The E model has the advantage(?) over the I model in that only the I model supports macro/micro cell, which seems to be the cause of FRA issues in non-dense deployments. We certainly don't have very many dense deployments.
The 2800s also do sound like they could work for us, however our eventual goal is to support mGig on our APs. We have the wiring for it already. There's also been some renewed talk about adding cellular radio modules (but I don't want to get into that discussion here). The issues mentioned all seem to have known workarounds or have been fixed in newer code, and a most of you reported having success with these than not. We'll advise our helpdesk to ensure that people with WiFi connectivity issues following the upgrade are running the latest drivers on their device. AC has been around long enough now that I feel the manufacturers of client devices should have their drivers fixed. One further question - how many connected clients are your 3800s able to serve before having performance issues?

For those of you that have Cisco 3800 series APs in production, how have they been working for you recently? We currently purchase 3700 series APs as our standard for new installs and replacement of our 3500 series APs, but are now considering switching to the 3800 series. I heard there were a lot of issues with them at first, but was wondering if they're still troublesome now that they've been out in the wild for some time. Also, does anyone currently have issues using Prime to manage them?
