I have about 50 APs (cisco air-cap3702i-a-k9), I have changed some of them to standalone, is it possible to configure them as a mesh network?

Depends if they are capable of doing it read the manual

#

Also ask the manufacturer you bought them from as you already have 50 , why not check it before hand? Also would this butcher the throughput of the data? Seems like a bottleneck to me

I didn't purchase them, they were being tossed from work and they were fair game for anyone that wanted them

So check the manual

#

As they should tell you the capabilities

#

Also why do you want 50 of them? whoa

No but I just grabbed as many as I could cause I'm sure someone I knew would want some
