upgrading SM while using ePMP 3000 AP

i am currently running a 4 AP tower at 90deg using the ePMP 3000.

i have deployed ePMP force 300 SM to all clients and after 3 years have fianlly decided to stop troubleshooting the ethernet port failures and sudden LAN traffic stopping.

i want to replace the SM but since cambium APs do not have forward compatibility i guess i would have to stick with the “force 300”? which makes no sense considering they are “end of life” and have common issues of the ethernet ports failing documented.

HELP!!!

Hello @Allen_Pierson welcome to the Cambium forums!

Why not upgrade the AP’s on the tower to ePMP 4500 which supports backwards compatibility with the F300 SM’s, and then you can slowly swap to F4525 SM’s as needed?
