Roaming tab (only in Client mode):
Enable proactive roaming:
Check this checkbox to enable the fast roaming features.
List of channels scanned for the next AP discovery:
Choose here the channels that will be scanned for AP discovery.
Using more than one channel allows a denser repartition of the Access
Points, as they will not interfere with each other. But this will reduce the
data throughput for the client, because the scanning process must
periodically leave the AP channel (and thus stop transmitting) in order to
scan other channels.
To achieve the best throughput we recommend using only one channel.
Delay between two successive scan cycle:
This value represents the time (in milliseconds) between scan cycles.
Current AP leave threshold:
If the RSSI of the current AP falls below this value (in dBm), the client will
try leaving the current AP and roaming to another AP.
Note
: in previous versions this parameter was named “Current AP minimum
signal level”.
Required level boost:
Minimum improvement in signal level that the new (target) AP must exhibit
over the old (current) one, to allow roaming to actually occur.
