I've got 2 Cambium cnPilot e400 WAPs that work really well.  We're currently doing a big reno and as part of that we'll add a third WAP (giving one WAP on each of three levels in the house).  e400s have now been replaced with e410s, so I was thinking of grabbing an e410 as the new third WAP.  

 

So my question is, will a Wave 2 e410 work OK alongside two Wave 1 e400s?  They're both 2x2, but I guess the main diff will be the MU-MIMO on the e410.  Can that co-exist with the Wave 1 MIMOs?

I can't see any reason to say no, but I also don't have any experience with Cambium CPE.

 

You might have issues with handover from the Wave 2 to Wave 1 equipment for AP roaming, but other than that nothing immediately springs to mind.

Anything I say is the ramblings of an ill informed, opinionated so-and-so, and not representative of any of my past, present or future employers, and is also probably best disregarded.

it will work fine, the Wave 2 ones will just do MIMO

So you're saying the Wave 2 WAP will be forced to only do MIMO, rather than MU-MIMO?

Sorry, i missed the MU- bit off that.

 

 

 

both AP's are basically the same, one will just be a tad better than the rest...

Great, that's what I guessed/hoped.
