The roaming just makes it so that newbie's can just know to click roaming without having to know u can enter all zero's as for the list of bssid's and essid's valid for a client this was requested and as I recall we were told it was going to be implemented in the firmware/software ... but that was 2 releases ago.

In the AB change the BSSID to all zeros. Then it will
associate to any radio you put up with the appropriate
ESSID. I'm still unsure why they added the "Roaming"
checkbox in the new firmware/SimpleMonitor release. They
seem to roam just fine between APs when you set the BSSID
to all zeros.
