Roaming
Roaming is the term for automatically changing to another access point when the WI-Client recognizes a
decreasing RF signal level when leaving the covered area of the current access point and a better level with
another AP available.
For this purpose the WI-Client keeps a table with a list of access points from which it is receiving signals
(beacons).
To receive these beacons the WI-Client has to tune to the different channels and listen for incoming signals
for a certain amount of time. This hampers the regular data traffic which the WI-Client has to process.
Therefore this procedure is handled in different ways depending on the current signal level.
To make this procedure even more effective, the user can restrict the channels where the WI-Client is
allowed to look for beacons of other access points
Ethernet Port
Check this option to enable manual settings for the ethernet port.
DHCP-Relay-Agent
Check this option to enable the DHCP-Relay-Agent of the WI-Client. This is useful if the connected clients at
the ethernet port of the WI-Client are using DHCP.
