With Unifi you can set a minimum signal level, and give the whole site one SSID. When a client gets to the edge of one zone, they will hand off. It's not quite seamless, but it ain't bad. Way simpler for most customers to understand. You do have to test the edges of the zones. bp

That's the way to do it. I've run into so many issues trying to do WDS/repeater setups that I refuse to support them. They are just problems wrapped in newspaper soaked in horse shit. Separate APs hardwired back to the central router is the way. bp part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com On 3/1/2015

If they are coordinated (like Unifi, or Meraki), they can all be named the same, and can do almost zero hand-off. If they are not coordinated, you may want to name them differently. bp part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com On 2/28/2015 5:24 PM, Mark - Myakka Technologies wrote: I have an installer that

With mikrotik you have the flexibility to create your own coordination which is done in a few methods using the ACL with signal checks Placing your interfaces into a mesh or straight bridge or separate multiple Vaps on their own interface. With configs like this you will have more granular

Only set the same ssid if they are all ubnt devices and then enable the minimum signal level to like -80 so it will kick them off and force them to roam to another ap. Otherwise you end up connected to the ap with the least signal while sitting right next to a different ap. If not then you need to
