  • 1.  503 and 505 roaming

    Posted Jan 07, 2026 12:09 PM

    Hello 

    I would like to know if the 505 would have roaming issues with the 503. I mean, even if I mix them, 505 and then 503, 505, 505, and then another 503. Or would there be problems in any scenario? Or can I only use 505s on the entire floor?

    Mixing APs from within the same generation (AP-5xx for example) should not be an issue.

    I'll add that mixed APs from different generations should also be OK if they're configured the same.  Newer APs can almost always be configured in such a way as to interoperate with older APs, but this can require some care to get right.

    Onno, does the same apply to the 7xx series? Can I mix AP-725, AP-755, and AP-745 units in the same room or area? Well, it's not that I'm planning to do it, we always try to sell the same model, but just in case the situation arises

    Yes, no problem to mix any combination of AP-7xx models
