Guidance for cnMaestro Enterprise Customers - (updated) 24 Sep 2026

[Brett_Schwartz]

Is there any news on a new company acquiring cnMaestro X?

[Dustin_Deadwyler]

Haven’t tried it yet myself, but I’m thinking that setting the DHCP lease time very low prior to moving a site, then setting the DHCP options when ready to move should get our APs moving fairly quickly.

Hello,

is the last version of cnMaestro released on 2026-09-23 independent from Anchor Account?

In negative case, there is a prevision of release for that version?

Thanks

Filippo

The latest release of cnMaestro on-prem (6.0.0-r11) still has the cloud anchor dependency.

[Jason_Cox]

Am I understanding correctly that with on-premises cnMaestro we won’t be able to add new devices without support from Cambium, meaning that we’ll get stuck with a set of devices that get managed and more and more get left out as time goes on? We’re only using Cambium for fixed wireless. We have mostly ePMP and also a handful of cnWave, PMP 450, and PTP 670 devices.

[Thomas_Sturdy]

Onboarding ePMP devices is my biggest question as well (aside from what will happen with CBRS authorization for our pmp450 devices). cnMaestro has been key to us managing our ePMP deployment (1000+ units)

[Jeremy_Petticrew]

I have 1,080 APs in cnMaestro X cloud. Right about 90% XV3-8 and 10% XE5-8. I have imported two AP groups so far and all have this error when trying to sync…

Device out of sync : Configuration failed: Device configuration does not match target

I am using 6.0.0r11 and I have tried OS 7.1.2-r9 and 6.6.2.1-r5 with the same result. Does anyone have any insight? I got an onboard error that maybe was pointing to IP address settings, but I am not sure.

Thanks for any help!

@Thomas_Sturdy

aside from what will happen with CBRS authorization for our pmp450 devices

In case you haven’t seen it, the CBRS situation for PMP450 is described here:

3 GHz CBRS Service on PMP 450 transition to Airspan

If you are running a 3 GHz PMP 450 (including PMP 450i and PMP 450m) platform that uses the CBRS service for spectrum access, please be assured that nothing about your service changes with the announcement today. In a separate press release that was published today, Airspan announced that it has acquired the fixed wireless portfolio from Cambium Networks, including the 3 GHz PMP 450 line and the CBRS domain proxy service that supports it. More than 100,000 PMP 450 radios depend on this service…

and updated here:

3 GHz CBRS Service on PMP 450 transition to Airspan

Hi Mark, Ken and any others interested. I’ll get this letter out to you by tomorrow but essentially the situation is the same as it was from the post above. The CBRS service for 3 GHz will continue to operate with both Federated Wireless and Google as SAS providers with billing for the October invoice coming from Cambium systems. More info to come about any actions that need to be taken for the November cycle where we expect billing to come from Airspan systems. Regards, Bruce

@Simon_King & Cambium Team / UK Administration.

Any updates for us Enterprise customers who’re waiting the fate of cnmaestro and our enterprise hardware?

• Can Cambium give info as to the next expected cnMaestro on-prem release
  • Will the release really support NSE?
  • Will it be full featured - “unlocked/unleashed”?
• Cambium executive team took all our subscription and hardware money, we will never be made “whole”
  • No ability to RMA, no more TAC and no CCAV.
    • This is reason to release full “X” on-prem - no pay walls, as if the cloud anchor goes away we lose all entitlements.
  • Without Cambium maintaining cnMaestro - we’re one large CVE away from chaos…

[CraigN (Craig Nunn)]

I have been doing a migration this week and found this error came up on a couple of APs. All I did was sync the config again from the device configuration page on these APs and it seemed to work.

[Jeremy_Petticrew]

Unfortunately I am getting that same error on every AP that I import… I am currently running cnMaestro 6.0.0-r11 and 6.6.2.1-r5 on my APs.

When you say “the device configuration page,” where is that? I have tried forcing the sync from multiple different pages, but have had no luck.

[Downunder (Rob G)]

Tryign to migrate a NSE3000 which was on x across to on prem and its reporting “Device could not acquire subscription slot” and sitting as still unclaimed. Hopefully the handfull I have don’t end up as expensive paperweights!! Any help appreciated.

[Mark_Nicholls]

I think that is normal, just do a resync, it should sort itself. Seen that all the time

[Simon_King]

Update: ignore this post, I was wrong. See the next post from @ntox.

I’m afraid NSE3000 devices are not supported in On-Premises:

@KumarK

8. What about NSE?

NSE is not supported on cnMaestro On-premises. For other options, review this community page: [Beta] NSE Release 2.5-b2 now available

[ntox (Anthony)]

@Simon_King
This contradicts the prior Cambium release… Cambium just stated NSE support WOULD be added. has this now changed, if so - can you have administration tell us? This is bullshit.

So what is it then, has there been a deviation in the plan? Administration has been silent.

[Kris_Van_Nieuwenhuyz (Kris Van Nieuwenhuyze)]

Does anyone have any idea how we can move APs from a (malfunctioning-offline) on-premises anchor to another on-premises anchor?
The old one is offline, and I can’t delete it myself from my anchors.
When I try to approve an AP on the new anchor, I get the message: “Device is mapped to another On-Prem instance under the current Cloud Anchor account.”
How can I get these APs onto the new on-premises server?

[Simon_King]

Sorry, my mistake, I hadn’t seen that part of the announcement.

(I’m no longer a Cambium employee and am not involved in these plans)

[ntox (Anthony)]

Understood, thank you for that context :).

[SBBinc]

We have this same situation. We’re supposed to reach out to cambium support to have them remove the old instance. cnMaestro team does not seem to be responding to tickets at the moment though

[Downunder (Rob G)]

Hey Simon, apprecate you still being active and supportive here!!!
Thanks others on the update. Issue will be features possibly will lose that X brings, such as DNS filtering.
