Hello. Currently, I have four EAP225s and need to add another access point. I was interested in the EAP613 but was wondering if that meshs well with EAP225s.

 

I want to ensure devices will semalessly roam from AP to AP. The EAP613 states it has seamless roaming, but I've found different AP models don't play well together.

 

I once got EAP615-Wall, and despite it stating that it has seamless roaming, it didn't mesh well. Devices would connect to it and then lock on. Devices wouldn't  switch to closer APs. I replaced it with a EAP225 and the issue went away.

 

Anyone have any experience with EAP613s and EAP225s working well together?

Hello! Regarding your question about the EAP613 and EAP225 compatibility, here’s some information that might help.

The EAP613 supports seamless roaming (802.11k/v/r), but seamless roaming performance can vary when mixing different models, even within the same brand. 

 

From your experience with the EAP615-Wall, it seems that device "sticking" to an AP is a recurring issue when mixing models. This is often due to differences in how each AP handles client steering and roaming protocols. The EAP225, being part of the standard Omada line, likely has more consistent behavior with other EAP225s, which is why the issue resolved when you replaced the EAP615-Wall.

If seamless roaming is critical for your setup, I’d recommend sticking with the EAP225 or upgrading all your APs to the same model (e.g., EAP613) for consistent performance. Alternatively, you could consider the EAP610 or EAP620 HD, which are closer in features to the EAP225 and might integrate more smoothly.

If you decide to try the EAP613, ensure that all APs are running the latest firmware and that roaming protocols (802.11k/v/r) are enabled in the Omada controller. However, be prepared for potential roaming inconsistencies due to the mixed models.
