Cisco 1000 Series Integrated Services Routers
The Cisco® 1000 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISR 1000 Series) portfolio has been steadily expanding over the years to provide our customers with the flexibility they need. The ISR 1000 Series combines routing, switching, Wi-Fi, integrated security, and DSL and LTE uplink connectivity options in a single, lightweight, high-performance device. Choose between the traditional Cisco IOS® XE or controller-managed Cisco IOS XE SD-WAN software to deploy your network quickly and reliably on all Cisco ISR 1000 Series routers. With a simple and flexible pay-as-you-grow model, you purchase network capacity only when you need it.

Use cases
Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) device with enterprise features
Combines a router, a switch, and a high-speed wireless access point into one compact device, perfect for executives using VPNs in small offices, or for anywhere that performance is key with limited space.
Provide the same level of network services across multiple sites around the globe
Routers in university campuses, retail stores, medical clinics, remote offices, and small branches can be deployed in a plug-and-play manner and governed by a unified management solution.
Multiple WAN termination options
Whether for direct internet access, fiber or copper-based broadband, DSL access over telephone lines, or wireless cellular technology, the variety of termination types available within this product family helps ensure that you will find a WAN connection suited to your needs.
Voice over IP
Highly secure voice from the enterprise IP network to the service provider with the Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE) server. Business resiliency and redundancy during WAN link failure with Cisco Unified Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST).
Network management solutions
Network management systems typically use a centralized server to collect data from network elements. The server can be located on-premises, in a private data center, or in the cloud. Cisco offers a wide range of network management tools to choose from, depending on your requirements.
Software functionality

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.
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.
● 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.
