4. Requirements for Roaming
The following requirements must be met in order for wireless stations to roam between the coverage areas.
1. All the access points and wireless stations must be on the same subnet, configured with the same ESSID and security settings such as WEP.
2. If IEEE 802.1X user authentication is enabled and to be done locally on the access point, the new access point must have the user profile for
the wireless station.
3. The adjacent access points should use different radio channels when their coverage areas overlap to provide seamless roaming.
