When Fast Roaming is enabled the Client goes off-channel and periodically performs a background scan to identify
available AP‘s. When AP‘s are identified the RSSI is recorded as a potential connection. It takes 50msec to scan each
channel, with a 1 second delay between each scanned channel. So scanning 10 channels will take 10 second, during
which time latency of up to 50msec will occur and any throughput traffic is essentially paused and buffered for
retransmission when complete. It is therefore recommended the scan list is used to limit the number of channels the
client needs to scan thus reducing the overall scan time. During the background scan a client will scan all of the
channels in the Scan List to identify better AP's. If no channels are configured it will scan all channels.
The above configuration shows that the Client will start scanning when the RSSI of its current connection to the Access
Point falls below -90dBm. When this happens it will scan the list of Access Points configured in the Roaming Scan List
(in this case channels 6, 15, 16 &26 as shown above) and if any of the RSSI levels are greater than -84dBm it will
change to this Access Point.
