Correct! Thank you Tech9!! I was too quick there. Protected Management Framework should be set to Capable, not Enable as above.

So, to have it in one place:

  1. All nodes should support 802.11k and 802.11v (which RT-AX58U does). If not, the roaming will be somewhat slower, but it works.
  2. Switch OFF Smart connect
  3. Use DIFFERENT SSIDs for 5 and 2.4 GHz (to avoid roaming to the slow 2.4 GHz band). Use the 2.4 GHz band for IOT devices and/or guests only.
  4. Set Protected Management Frames to Capable
  5. Set Roaming Assistant to Disable
  6. Set Airtime Fairness to Disable
  7. Set Universal Beamforming to Disable
