Hardware model upgrade for Ceiling mount APs

[amit3bcrec]

HI.

I am looking to upgrade/replace one of the existing AP (R510)with a new 6GHz AP (R560).

I would like to check if anyone know - 

1. How can I purchase a new AP or get a trade-in?

2. Also, can the Two AP of the different models work together or do I need to replace both the master and slave APs?

Let me know if anyone has gone through a similar requirement. Appreciate the help.

Thanks,

Amit

Hi @amit3bcrec 

Hope you are doing well ! 

1-I don't think there is a way to change the access points to a newer one. These must be purchased.

You can search for an official partner that is near your location and make this request

2-As you mention, in unleashed an AP takes the role of Master and the rest as members, so we can say Controller-less solution.

You don't need that both access points to be identical model, just to have both of them with the same firmware version ( compatibility )  and be on the same network.
