About Old AP Support in Omada 6.0 release
I recently upgraded to Omada 6.x formally released version from the earlier latest 5.x version. Is their AP supported List for Omada 6.x, kindly point me to that resource.
We use a lot EAP 225 V3 (both US and EU versions), few EAP 225 Outdoor V1 (EU Version), few EAP225 Outdoor V3 (US version), and few EAP 245 v4 (US Version) units. The reason is we did not buy everything at one go but usually few APs get added every few years on our network and we just take what stock the distributor has in India.
I can see EAP225 having new V4/V5 hardware revision. Other EAP models also have upgraded hardware revisions.
Are lower hardware version of EAP225, EAP245 (indoor versions), etc be supported in Omada 6.0. And going forwards in future releases and version 7.x n BY supported, I mean atleast work if not firmware upgrades carrying feature enhancements and bug fixes. I understand due to equipment End-Of-XXX strategy at some stage they will stop getting software upgrades, but the question is whether they will work or not with newer controller releases.
9 years back we bought about 10 nos. of EAP 115 V2 models. They worked with Omada 2.5 which was latest then. When we moved to Omada SDN, the support for these 10 APs were dropped and those APs did not work with Omada SDN. I suppose Only EAP115 V4 is supported now. The EAP hardware we bought still had usable life in it when we upgraded to Omada SDN (and in fact is still going strong), but we had to spawn a new VM with 2.5 version omada non-SDN controller to manage those 10 APs. This Duplication causes WLAN config issues for us and restricts smooth mobility across EAP115 V2 and pother EAPs, which are managed by different controllers.
