Edimax said the product doesn't support band steering or load balancing among RE11Ses, nor does it support 802.11v, k and r.

Ugh, why won't any of the vendors support the standards that help roaming?

Believe it or not - Common SSID's are the biggest step towards decent roaming performance - 11r/11k are the frosting and help out a bit...

Good article here about that -- http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/basi...751-snb-answer-guy-how-many-ssids-is-too-many

I've done that with my setup using two APs connected via powerline, but am waiting for someone to support 802.11k, v, and r before I upgrade.

Is there a true technical reason - or just community/tribal knowledge?

Tribal Knowledge is often wrong...

Some do. It's a work in process. But these standards require implentation on the client to work. Edimax' technique works with any client. It doesn't address stubborn clients that won't roam until a connection disappears, though.

I suppose it's useful units, because give us 802.11ac standard, easy installation and roaming of course.
