Are there any large WLAN clouds made with mikrotik

Hi!

I need to setup am large WLAN cloud of about 40 APs.
Clients need to be able to travel around the cells without connection loss.

Are there any setups out there with MT-Systems?

Can you give me a hint, if roaming will be a problem?

Thank you and best wishes,

Stril

If you roam for the video streaming then it should ok.
If you plan for the internet roaming, then you should make the 40APs just purely work as AP, you have to centralize ip addresses and authentication by different server.

But, if you plan for the video conference or the tel-conference. you should forgot about this.

Hi!

I have to use PDAs in a warehouse. The PDAs use VNC-Sessions to connect to a Server.

It is important, that we do not losse connectivity, when we change the radio cell.

At the moment, I have loose packets, when the client starts roaming. If I use WDS, there is no problem, but I think WDS with about 10 APs is not a good idea…

All the 40 radios need to be bridged to a LAN.

Thank you, for your advice!

can you tell more detail, how you can set the wds in pda?

Hi!

I do not setup anythin on the PDA.
The PDA does just connect to the SSID of the WDS.

40 radios with WDS mesh and STP enabled on bridge will definitely helps…

If you need excelent roaming you can try meru, but is not good with more than 15 users per cell

how did it go?
