Hello everyone,
I have a building consisting of 5 floors .. I need the work of the wireless network operating system roming so that the phone of (persons) roaming the whole building in all floors is the signal wireless cover and there is no separation of the phone and re-connect the network of new connection, But need the signal coverage in all floors as the same coverage (full wifi), Without any devices go to disconnect and reconnect..
How can doing that?
Any advice
Thanks
Re: Help to config roming wireless
You can't. At least not with Mikrotik.
Every WiFi access point has its own MAC address (which is base for communication between AP and its clients) and even if all APs are using same frequency client still has to disassociate from the old AP (its MAC actually) and associate to the new AP (its MAC). Which takes a fraction of a second and traffic usually resumes with a slight delay.
The key here is to keep APs in the same LAN broadcast domain so that when clients change APs, they don't have to request a new IP address over DHCP protocol. This procedure takes much longer time and likely causes drop of ongoing connections.

With your "You can't. At least not with Mikrotik"
which vender you mean can i doing the roming method?
So if i apply in mikrotik and using the "Capsman" Is it a successful way? And can people They go through all the floors without separation of the network wifi?
Re: Help to config roming wireless
The best thing you can do with Mikrotik is setup all APs with same SSID / authentication, ensure they're all in the same broadcast domain and ensure your DHCP server is very fast at handling requests / renews (eg no pinging for 2 seconds before giving a lease). Unfortunately RouterOS lacks support for any of the standards that improve roaming speed, another vendor like Cisco may work better for you if minimizing roaming disruption is required.
See https://documentation.meraki.com/MR/WiF ... chnologies for an overview of the available roaming standards.

If i set all APS with same SSID when using Capsman ?
or not with other way?
