Unleashed with R610 and R310...Can they run different firmware?

mike_bruemmer_i — Tue, 15 Sep 2020 15:44:15 GMT

I have a project with 4 R610's, 2 R310's and one T301. As it turns out the T301 and R310's latest firmware is 200.7, yet the R610's can now go to 200.9. Does it make sense to upgrade the R610's to 200.9 and leave the R310/T301 at 200.7? Will this effect the unleashed performance if the WAPS are on different firmware?

Thanks,

Mike

In my experience, all APs in your Unleashed AP Group will need to have the same firmware. if not, you'll get the "firmware mismatch" and you'll be prompted to downgrade.

Thank you so much for the reply. I will run with the older WAPS and older firmware until they update the hardware.

I'm running older firmware, and things work great. The unleashed WiFi here is an object of envy with all my I.T person friends.
