Guys,
Just to clarify, the AP3610 is feature complete and has been for awhile due to hardware limitations. We simply ran of capacity on a platform that was introduced back in 2008. Once we reach end-of-sale, which for the AP3610 was 3/31/2015, Extreme supports the firmware in maintenance mode for another 3 years. So we will continue to support the AP3610 via future V9.21.XX maintenance updates through 3/31/2018. The hardware itself (RMAs) is supported for 5 years after end-of-sale, in this case through 3/31/2020. So by the time we reach end-of-service-life, Extreme would have supported AP3610 for over 10 years. That is a long lifecycle for a platform based on WiFi technology that is moving very rapidly.
Sincerely,
Will

If I am reading the EOSL documents correctly, the end of sales for a 3610 was December 2014. Ending software support after 1 year seems kind of drastic. Does that mean a

Well, what?
I ́m waiting for IPv6 support for bridged@controller setup for year(s)
- In anexternal blog post it was mentioned that IPv6 bridged@controller support was in an alpha version of 8.31
- In V9, nothing was introduced
- Now with V10, it was likely that we would finally see some improvements next year.
- And what happens. There ́s no V10 support for AP3610 access points?
Oh please, no! We have over 300 AP3610 access points running. That ́s way over 90% of our wlan access points. (And yes, as of today I know that this step was already mentioned in the end of sale announcement for the AP3610 series)
That ́s "sad"...

Given the constant change in user wireless devices and our past experience in constantly having to upgrade firmware to support them, I am afraid you have effectively obsoleted the 3600s long before their end of service date.

Hi Will Thank you for the feedback..... So no support for any of the 36xx series?? We have a few clients that is running more than 600 AP's of which 40% is still 36xx series AP's, the remaining 60% is a combo of 37xx and 38xx AP's. They will never be able to deploy the new 39xx series unless they make a huge investment.........
