Greetings,
Say you have an IAP 335, and plan to purchase 2 x IAP 225s (or possibly AP 303h).
Eventually, you plan to wire up the building and have the IAPs connected physically, but for now plan to use mesh to create a Wifi blanket.
As I was researching the different models that I can buy (those supporting the same instant OS version) I found out that the 3xx series are mostly powered by QCA chips, while the 225s are Broadcom.
Perhaps HPE/Aruba develops the firmare for these chips themselves and have ensured 100% compatability/stability under highloads, but my past experience tells me I should avoid mixing chipset vendors, especially in mesh setups, roaming, etc.
Is this the case with the IAP models I mentioned? Should I try get only 3xx family, or only 225s?
Or can I safely mix 335/225 and expect solid stability even among different underlying chipsets?
Cheers
