    How To Fix Wi-Fi Roaming

    I would say one thing is for certain (and this coming from an ex-Cisco employee testing enterprise APs and wireless controllers at home as well as numerous other enterprise and consumer brands): irrespective of the underlying technology in use, I think its fair to say the broader industry...

    Yup - completely agree that there are other solutions beyond 11v, k, r that can help address how well devices will move around on the wireless network. As long as it works, doesn't really matter to me what the secret sauce is. Unfortunately, in my testing of Edimax a few months ago before I...

    With 802.11v, k and r not currently not supported, and instead using RSSI based roaming assistance, I'm curious if anyone who has a set of these can test out seamless roaming capability. More specifically, how well the Apple devices are moving around and whether intermittent dropped audio is...

    Although I don't recall blocking multicast, that would make sense. And yeah, I too was thinking that perhaps Bonjour is an important aspect of the problem, which may or may not have been passing along. Either way, looks like I'm sticking with the Apple units for routing and wireless. My...

    ASUS RT-AC66U with merlin's current stable build. I could have tested the ASUS OEM code or other routers, but I happened to have an Airport in the closet where the old router and modem was anyhow, for coverage on the 1st floor.

    Hey sfx2000 - Ok... so I figured out the apparent issue was that was preventing my mobile devices from Fast Transition (FT) roaming. Once I put an Airport Extreme into routing mode and used that in front of the rest of my Airport units, everything worked smoothly. No more 1-3 second delays in...

    Plume Joins the Mesh Wireless Battle

    Tim - how is your setup with eero, again? So you have modem --> router --> 1st eero hardwired --> remaining eeros wireless? Which unit is doing the routing? Also, how has the performance been for you? Any sticky clients with your setup? Thanks for the insight...

    And yes, I always use the same SSID, WPA2 Personal, and same login for all my configurations. I've even made sure to delete previously saved WiFis on my Macbook, to ensure no legacy issues arise from using different APs.

    Even for fast roaming hops on WPA2 Personal (which is my real issue on the latest Airport Extremes when trying to use VoIP), do you think placement is an issue? As I can't adjust the power of the Airport Extremes and I can't disable the 2.4 Ghz radios, I would think that as long as my placement...

    Hey sfx2000 and Tim - so I've been testing various solutions to try to remedy a sticky client issue with my Macs running 10.11.5. So far, I've experimented with the following AC access points to try to get seamless / fast roaming in place in my large home, all behind my existing router: -...

    One last question for you: do you recommend leaving all of the Airports on the same channel or not?

    Awesome - thanks! Time for me to pick up some extra Airports and test it out!

    Understood. What about Airport Express vs. Airport Extreme for fast roaming support? Or does 802.11r and k require 802.11AC?

    Wow -- I didn't know that Airports supported 11r and 11k. The only documentation I could find on Apple's site refers to iOS devices supporting 802.11r, 11k, and 11v. If I have Ethernet and Powerline running backhaul where I need it, and then Airport Express units on each connection of that...

    So are you saying that if eero is set up using a wired backhaul, that it can't dynamically adjust transmit power across the nodes? If so, that would be a bummer given I prefer to put as much of my network on the wire as possible.

    Thanks for the insightful replies, sfx2000, Peter, and Tim. In the past when setting up my network in my home or for others, I've focused my attention primarily on wired backhaul (Ethernet or Powerline), optimal AP placement to ensure there are no dead sports, and eliminating channel overlap...

    Exactly. I was referring to all my latest devices from Apple as having 802.11k and r. Still no joy if the consumer network doesn't support it. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202628
