Devices not Roaming!!
Model :
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version :
ISP :
I have 3 EAP225 all controlled by EAP 2.5.1, but for the life of me cannot get the client devices to roam seamlessly from 1 to another. Mainly android devices, one of the major reasons to go with these EAPs was to get proper hand off of devices by the EAP, since Andoid likes to hold on to its first AP for dear life.
Should the client devices disconnect and reconnect when trying to roam?
I've tried rssi and values between -55 to -80 so devices drop off and reconnect to a stronger EAP. Slowly increasing by -2 till i reached -80. They will attempt to connect/disconnect to the same EAP until after 4-5 attempts it will join the correct EAP, is this normal?
I have one EAP that all devices refuse to connect to unless they are sitting next to the EAP, I've tried replacing the EAP itself, the cables everything. I don't get why clients connect to a EAP on a different floor when a closer one is available 2ft away. I've tried placing it in a central open area, but 95% of the time it has 0 clients. It has nothing to do with signal strength as the one on a different floor clearly has a weaker signal according to many apps and the EAP itself. I just don't get whats happening, I can't decrease the rssi value of the EAP on the other floor coz that causes problems on that floor.
What is the best way to force the client to reconnect if a strong EAP is near by and possibly not cause the device to disconnect? Assumed the EAP controller would have done this by default.
