9100 and 1800 Compatibility

[mumbles202]

Currently have a deployment that has a number of 1832i access points running Mobility Express that I need to add a few more to provide coverage in a new space in the same building.  Since the 1832 is EoL I was trying to see if there are any current access points that could be used in the current deployment?  Or, would I be able to stand up a 9100 and then reset the APs from the ME controller and have them join the 9800?

i would suggest to build a in line with exiting one and test 9100 EWC and 1832 AP as member and once all test done move rest of the AP to new EWC

Don't forget you'll need a TFTP server for the 1832 APs to download the new software from and you'll need to extract the zip file of images for that version on the TFTP server. If you already knew that, great, but seems to be a common mistake with ME and EWC.
