Samsung explanation of when their devices roam: Īnother question for you two, if you know. When people talk about Mikrotik not having roaming, they mean these things.Īpple explanation of fast roaming standards (one of the best I’ve seen): Īpple explanation of when their devices roam: Third, Mikrotik does not have some of the “fast roaming” standards, 802.11r, 802.11k, and 802.11v - these allow the client device to roam between APs fast enough to have almost no noticeable affect on audio or video call. But if on an audio or video call there will be a 2 second or so drop. Second, yes devices will roam pretty quickly between the same SSID on Mikrotik CAPsMAN APs. If on a call, this will cause a drop of 5 seconds or more because the connection needs to be made again. In this case the client will completely start over, including killing all IP connections.

Doing thinks like kicking clients with low signal is very disruptive, and is not “roaming”. First, the client always controls roaming.
