However, I've recently posted (viewtopic.php?p=1052092#p1051984) about a strange behaviour that happened when roaming a couple of Android smartphones between hAP ax3 and hAP ax lite (on 7.13.3, not tested before). Basically, the smartphone successfully roams from one AP to the other one but, after exactly 10s it disconnects and reconnects after 2-3s. (Please see that post, and the following ones for details and full config of the APs.) My impression was that the connection was not working well/at all after roaming and before disconnection/reconnection (but I was not able to thoroughly test that). In any case, my user experience was not satisfactory.
After those messages I tried to explicitly disable FT to see if the user experience was acceptable without fast transition and, to my great surprise, roaming now works perfectly.
For the user point of view, I am satisfied with the current situation, but I am curious to delve deeper into the question to understand why it works.
Current config (CAPsMAN and /interface/wifi only):
Code: Select all
/interface wifi security
add authentication-types=wpa2-psk connect-priority=0/1 disable-pmkid=no disabled=no ft=no ft-over-ds=\
no name=wifisec_FT wps=disable
/interface wifi
set [ find default-name=wifi1 ] channel.band=5ghz-ac .frequency=5170-5250 .skip-dfs-channels=all \
.width=20/40mhz-Ce configuration=wificonf_FT configuration.mode=ap .ssid=ssid5 disabled=no
set [ find default-name=wifi2 ] configuration=wificonf_FT configuration.mode=ap disabled=no
/interface wifi capsman
set ca-certificate=auto enabled=yes interfaces=bridge require-peer-certificate=no upgrade-policy=none
/interface wifi configuration
add channel.band=2ghz-n .width=20mhz country=Italy datapath=datapath1 disabled=no mode=ap name=\
wificonf_FT security=wifisec_FT ssid=ssid24
/interface wifi datapath
add bridge=bridge disabled=no name=datapath1
/interface wifi provisioning
add action=create-dynamic-enabled disabled=no master-configuration=wificonf_FT name-format=wifi%I \
slave-configurations=""
- also my laptop (with an Intel Wireless 8265 / 8275) roams with the current configuration. I did not tested it with the old config. But it does not roam if I do not set connect-priority=0/1.
- also a vacuum robot and (happened only once, by chance, for obvious reasons) an AC split now are able to roam (I never saw them roaming when FT was enabled)
