EnGenius EAP300 with UTM9.2 Home Edition

kzkydh
I have been running UTM 9 Virtual Appliance on a VMware farm within my home for a few years now. Just a great product that has all the features I need to manage my families needs and learn for my enterprise profession. My home network contains (5) APs consisting of EnGenius EAP300's. Although everything works great, I wanted to configure the APs into a mesh network. However, the UTM does not recognize the APs within the Pending list. After reading all of the Sophos documentation and Internet research, it appears that the UTM requires a Sophos AP30 (or other Sophos models). I am basing an assumption that the Sophos AP30 is either a rebranded EAP300 or a modified EAP300. 

Questions:
1) Is it possible to setup a mesh network with my HW/SW components?
2) If #1=yes, do I need to reflash the EAP300's with AP30 firmware?
3) If #2=yes, where can I get the proper AP30 firmware?
4) If possible to create the mesh network, do I need a Radius server?
5) Is it possible for UTM to create a mesh network with the EAP300's current EnGenius fireware?

Home Version

EnGenius EAP300 APs with power injectors (power cords)
HW version 1
Fireware version: 1.5.1

Appreciate any assistance!

    I believe this is not possible even though the AP's are very similar. Others have tried flashing AP30 fw onto these devices and either bricked them or any way weren't able to use them in the UTM.
