Hi All,

We have an unleashed mesh with 3 R600's, we would like to add 2 more AP to this mesh. Should we go with R600 series itself or can we go for higher R700 series?

All are presently indoor and the the new once will also be installed indoors.

Thanks

Hi,

You can not add R700 APs as they do not support Unleashed management. The R710 & R720 do though and will work with the R600 upto version 200.7

I would advise taking a look at the Mesh Best Practices Guide around tree depth and maximum hops as there are throughput and latency considerations to be made with this deployment type:

Kind regards,

You are still able to extend the existing network, you can add the R600, R710, R720 AP models for example.

Here is a list of compatible AP models on Unleashed version 200.7:
