Updating CPE first? Mike, you secretly started drinking the Ubuiquiti koolaid? You of all people are going to let them get away with shoddy QA? It's okay if new cpe are deployed one at a time are at or newer, but when doing a system wide upgrade, no f'n way. The damn things should be able to be newer or older and just connect and just work regardless.
A stone-cold reliable updating process should be number one on their list. I just updated some scabby old canopy network we acquired a couple weeks ago from versions 6-10 years old and it just worked, no BS. Did the AP first. Then brought up a handful of CPE. Then the whole works. We don't even have addresses for all these locations so really didn't want to truck roll. But I trust that update system. A primary/secondary firmware loading system ought to get on their to-do list at the very least. If people can't trust the damn things to work without truck rolls, then people won't update firmware. Period.
