Roaming
The mobile client will connect to any 802.11b AP that is within range. Each
802.11b Access Point within a roaming network must have a
unique Channel
and the
same
SSID
and
Encryption Keys
(if WEP is enabled). 802.11b products can use
three non-overlapping Channels within the same vicinity (Channels 1, 6, and 11 are
non-overlapping). Users can move between the 802.11b Access Points in the network
freely.
