Remote CAPsMAN and performances

RouterOS Wireless Networking
1

Hi all,

I have a set up of:
1x RouterOS server (on an x86 machine)
3x sites with 6x wAPs for each location

the RouterOS server is reachable through a VPN tunnel from each location.
The CAPsMAN server configure the wAPS with local forwarding datapaths.

I followed the standard best practice for the wAPs configuration, all have the same SSID and security, and they can work an all channels allowed by my country laws.
All network devices are wired to improve stability and performace.

The described architecture is working pretty well for me, but I’m looking for a solution in order to improve the roaming between the wAPs, because I’ve some clients literally running in the building and they need some seconds (from 3 to 20) to reconnect when they stop their runs.

I’m wondering if a solution with local CAPsMAN controller could help with the roaming, just configuring it without the local forwarding option.

Can you help me?

Hello ,
because roaming is on client device issue , the only thing that would help you is the following

/caps-man access-list
add action=accept allow-signal-out-of-range=10s disabled=no interface=any signal-range=-90..120 \
    ssid-regexp=""
add action=reject allow-signal-out-of-range=10s disabled=no interface=any signal-range=-120..-90 \
    ssid-regexp=""

it disconnects the client when the signal arrives to -90 rx ,so client try earlier to connect on other radio.
I think (based on mikrotik wiki)

hope this help you.
