The three drawbacks to using autonomous APs are:

  1. They are independently configured. - Each autonomous access point (AP) must be configured individually, which can lead to inconsistencies and increased administrative overhead.

  2. Security policies are harder to maintain. - With autonomous APs, implementing and maintaining consistent security policies can be challenging since each AP operates independently.

  3. APs don’t see the full picture of the wireless network. - Autonomous APs typically lack the centralized intelligence that controller-based systems provide, meaning they cannot aggregate or analyze data from other APs in the network, which can lead to suboptimal performance and troubleshooting challenges.

The option "They require central management" is not a drawback of autonomous APs; rather, this characteristic is associated with controller-based APs.
