R610 and R500 Unleashed Can they work together?

[Botovino]

I have 3x R610 AP's running the latest Unleashed Firmware Version 

200.14.6.1.203 and 3 other R500 AP' with the latest supported version for them which is Unleashed 200.7.10.202.145.

Is it possible to have these all work together? I want to use the 3 R500's as mesh devices.

Thank you.

Hi @Botovino,

Thank you for reaching RUCKUS Technical Support via Community FORUM.

As per the Release Notes of 200.14.6.1.203, R500 is not supported. We cannot have R610 and R500 work together in 200.14.6.1.203.

Hello sir, I managed to install and to make them work using the firmware version 200.7.10.202.145

The manual installation of the drivers was required, I went and configured 1 of the Rucks R610's with this firmware version and then it automatically configured the other 3 devices.

The Ruckus R500 had already one of the 200.7 version of firmware installed and it has just updated it to 200.7.10.202.145.

I do have another question: What speeds should I be getting between the AP's? I did an AP to AP test in Unleashed app , looks like I am getting roughly 500Mbps wireless connection between the R610's and around 150 Mbps between the R610's and the R500.

Are these speeds what I should be expecting or is there a way to tweak it more and optimize it?

Thank you for your help , appreciate you.
