Hi you
I am using AP 7161, 7562 and controller RFS4010 with license for 16 AP. I plan to add new AP 7562, however supplier informed that new generation AP7562 will have wifi 6 and it cannot be added to RFS4010 controller.
So how should my system be able to upgrade or replace the old APs with newer ones?
I upgraded the Controller for 1.5 years and I reported to my boss that it will add new Aps later on.
Solved! Go to Solution.

WiNG added heterogenous virtual controllers quite a while ago. The AP460 can be a virtual controller for the following APs: AP460, AP410, AP360, AP310, AP8533, AP8432, AP7662, AP7632, AP7612, AP7562, AP7532, AP7522.

Hello Tuan,
The short answer is “yes” the RFS4000 does support the AP7562 with up to the lastest WiNG 5.x firmware.
Thank you,
Chris

To transfer controller licenses (common scenarios would be to replaced a controller that failed and had to be replaced...or a controller model upgrade was needed due to installing more APs than the controller is spec’d for) you simply need to open a case with GTAC. They will assess your license entitlement for your current controllers and be able to provide licenses for the new replacement/upgrade controllers. These license migrations are handled on a case-by-case basis.

Hi you
I want to know exactly if the new AP 7562 can be managed with my existing controller RFS4010.

The AP7562 is not WiFi 6. It’s still 802.11ac wave 2, which is WiFi 5. Just wanted you to be aware of that before you install them and expect to see 802.11ax.
Additionally, the AP7562 is supported by WiNG 5.9.8.2.002R, as is your existing controller. You should be able to upgrade the controller and adopt the new AP7562’s that you’ve already purchased.
If you need WiFi 6 you’ll have to step up to the new universal AP’s, which will also mean a new controller. At that point, you could go with a virtual Extreme Campus Controller.
