Q: WiFi Roaming Network Questions
With respect to WiFi roaming as show in the following article: Wi-Fi base stations: Extending the range of your wireless network by adding additional Wi-Fi base stations - Apple Suppo…
The scenario is appealing since it uses the same SSID on multiple connected base stations allowing clients to move between wi-fi base stations without having to select a new wireless network. However, in my testing, I have found that when multiple base stations are in range with the same SSID, the client is not choosing them necessarily based on signal strength. I've had scenarios where the client stays with a base station when the signal strength is marginal at best even though it is next to another base station broadcasting the same SSID with a strong signal. While the topology seems great, how do you configure an intelligent client that can select between multiple signals of the same SSID and pick based on signal strength?
thanks
