ether1 - incoming internet with working dhcp
wlan1 - ap-bridge with dynamic wds; ssid: test1

wlan1 - ap-bridge with dynamic wds; ssid: test1
with laptop client (winxp/winvista) i tried to connect to test1 and depending on distance, laptop connected to the one with better signal.
now im wondering - how to force laptop to connect to other router if signal strength situation changes.
i connected to router2 and even shut it down, but windows laptop did not automatically connect to router1.
if i force it with disconnect and connect again, there were no problems, but it was not automaticaly
is it real or i am dreaming of something dreamlike?
My configuration I am running a public hotspot and it is set up as so.
miniRouter as hotspot controller Ether 4 & 5 in bridge1 and hotspot server bound to bridge1.
Ether 4 connected to radio 1
Ether 5 connected to radio 2
Radio 2 static WDS to radio 3
SSID on all radios = hotspot
Channel on all radios is the same as well.
I can drive or walk around and the laptop will bounce from radio to radio as the signal increases/decreases from radio to radio, I maybe lose two or three pings when it switched but in my test it is pretty much seemless.
If I had the SSID or the channels different on any radios then it gave me problems switching between the different radios.
