Luciano, you were just the last poster in the thread. I don't mean this towards 
you, but to everyone talking about Mikrotik. 

Mikrotik has no ability that I am aware of for true roaming. The closest its 
going to have is the ability to kick you off, forcing you to look for something 
better. Mikrotik on the client side (I assume) is outside of the scope of this 
conversation as most people aren't going to have a Mikrotik device in their 
pocket. They're using a cell phone.

Using a Mikrotik as an Indoor AP You can put in access list a 00:00:00:00:00:00 
mac address and uncheck default autentication in the wireless interface. 


Here I recommend 0..-75 in the acl signal strenght range for a perfect roaming. 

It always works fine. 


Mikrotik will kick the low -75 client and it will connect in the new next AP 
with the same SSID. Same layer2 DS and diferent channel.

Have you checked Mikrotik's wireless access list? 
Configure "Signal Strength Range" option to disconnect sticky wireless clients 
(who have low signal) 

Best,

I've tried MikroTik. 

I've tried Cisco. 

I've tried UniFi. 

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...
