Hi @keith

Absolutely, R650 and R550 both are Indoor Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) APs and Both uses BeamFlex+ adaptive antennas. This would work great in any setup.

How about R510 and R550 or R560 can work perfectly with roaming ?

It will work well as long as the firmware version chosen is supporting these models.

@keith

A Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) APs are backward compatible so shouldn't be a problem with R510 AC AP. The R560 is new model APs that would be supported from our upcoming 6.1.1 release FYI.

@keith

In addition to above one more point, in low-medium density deployment shouldn't be an issue to mix APs but in high density areas, better to group wifi6 APs together and WiFi5 together.
