SOHO Wi-Fi Router is Back in CCNA 7.0
• 1 wireless router (generic brand) with WPA2 support

• Configure a Home Network with Wireless
• Configure WLAN with WPA2 Encryption
• GUI
HWIC Serial Interfaces and Cables are Optional
• Trend in the industry toward Ethernet links

• Reducing cost to the Academy
The Following Parts are Moving to Optional:

• NIM-2T= 2 Port Serial WAN Interface Card
• CAB-SS-V35MT= V.35 DTE Male to Smart Serial
• CAB-SS-V35FC= V.35 DCE Female to Smart Serial
CCNA 7.0 Equipment Update Considerations
• Minimal lab pod requires less investment
• Existing academies with 3R+3S pods can now be more efficient in the
student/equipment ratio: (ex. academies with 12R + 12S can now support 6
complete lab pods instead of 4 pods)
• SOHO Wi-Fi Router was a requirement earlier in CCNAv5 and now it’s in
action again
• HWIC Modules and Cables still can be used in more advanced courses
