They may claim it,(UBNT) but, as far as I can tell it doesn't work
on an open network. Haven't tried on an encrypted network.
3.1.3 software. All were on same ESSID, but different channels.
Chose channels to minimize interference. Users work just fine as
long as they can only see one AP. When they can see more than one
some users seem to jump back and forth. Some will grab one AP in a
death grip and keep it to -88. Some just freeze for a min or two.
This is a public area, fairground, and as best I can tell, users
just can't roam reliably.
Of course, LOTS of noise! I remember reading something once about
being able to shut down 'rogue AP's', i.e. AP's that don't belong to
the fairground, but I can't remember who that was. Maybe that would
cut the noise.

I pretty much don't think there is a working way to roam
from AP to AP with 802.11 in an open system.
The client holds on to the weak AP long after there are
stronger AP's to talk to.
I think this is just the way it works.
Now, we are giving each AP a unique ESSID but keeping them
bridged on the wired side and requiring the user to change
the connection when out of range...
Not the best answer, but it works much better for the
clients who don't move much... I'd love a better answer...
