OfficeExtend & AP3600e

[s.fasel]

Hi,

in the documentation of the release 7.4, it's write that we can use ap3600 in OfficeExtend mode, but only the 3600 (integrated antenna) series. 

The 3600e (with external antenna) doesn't support OfficeExtend mode? if yes, why?

thanks a lot for your help

regards

Sam

That would certainly seem to be the case , it does specifically state "integrated antenna models only"

I would say that this is a product marketing imposed limitation, not a technical one, as they use they same IOS version

Not entirely sure why though
