Wireless Networking • Capsman upgrade strategy

Hi,

Can someone help me get the right order of upgrading to 7.13 ?
I route using an openwrt device, so my question only pertains to capsman/AP's.


I'm still on 6.49.10 with these 4 devices : cAP AC (also capsman) / hAP ac2 / wAP ac 2nd gen / wAP ac 1st gen.
Capsman only does config : all SSID's live one their respective vlans and the AP's forward to the gateway themselves.

On my Proxmox host I already setup the free version of CHR (7.13) in Bridge mode with the sole purpose of running Capsman. As capsman is not involved in forwarding I'll be fine with 1Mb throughput.

But what is my next step ?

Setting up capsman on the CHR_7.13 with the 4 AP's still on 6.49 , demote cAP AC from capsman duty while it is still on 6.49, and then upgrade the AP's one by one to 7.13 with the ac driver package and assign them to CHR ?

Or should I first upgrade all AP's to 7.13 including the capsman host, and only then migrate capsman away to CHR_7.13 ?
I use capsman's Radius client, and want to minimize downtime during migration.

Finally .. will the wAP ac 1gen ( = mips ) listen to capsman on CHR7.13 ?



Or should I not even bother destroying my current perfectly working setup and spend that time instead on like implementing suricata ?


thanks
