When will be station roaming back ?

Thu Feb 29, 2024 11:51 am

Hellou

Just checking when the the 7.13+ is going to get a station roaming feature back ?
Currently scraping all the older hap ac2 wherever we can (with version less then or equal to 7.12)

hap ax2 seems great on the paper... useless in reality

Thank you.

*) wifiwave2 - added station-bridge interface mode;

What do you need that doesn't work then ?

sorry for the late reply

not a station bridge.
Station Roaming
for example on the ac2
/interface wireless set station-roaming=enabled wlan2

on ax2 there is not such thing, thats why we are scraping ac2 mikrotiks

And what should it do ?

If your device moves away, it should "roam" to another AP sending out the same SSID ?
Should still work, I think, if you don't set your channel to a fixed value.

Station-Bridge when used in hap ax2 will roam ? no need to set station-roaming parameter ?

roam i mean roam in 0 to 1 second tops around -71 to -73 signal ?
ROAM ? are you sure ?

Not disconnect , send stuff and connect again that takes like 7 seconds.

Use FT then.
If going over multiple access points, consider adding capsman to the mix.

No problem roaming here between AX3 / AX2 / AX Lite / cAP AX, from/to 2.4GHz and 5GHz radios.

mikrotik is a client, not ap
ap is ruckus (6 r610 in unleashed)

thats why the question when will the ax version support station-romaing parameter.

edit: as far as i know mikrotik does not support ft romaing, only standard "roaming" within 0 - 1 seconds (message , lost connection , roamiing...)
mikrotik cant do ft with other brands

Do you realize that the old wireless driver is still available with 7.13+ and even used by default for hap ac2?

Are your hap ac moving or why I'd this needed? Genuinely interested in the use case.
