Hi,

Both answers were very useful. I didn't have the time yet to continue the configuration yet though.

What I already understood from both answers is that:

- EAP225_V3, EAP225-Outdoor_V1 and EAP245_V3 support the roaming (which are the devices I have), but i need to configure them correctly.

- The router / switch I'm using don't matter.

- Access point need to remain connected through a wire to my switch (as it's a POE capable switch solves also the power cable problems).

- I either need to buy the OC200 or install a VM with the software running on my nas (i'm not going to keep my desktop where I currently installed the software powered on all the time), however as long as I'm testing and keep my desktop powered it should be fine.

- I'm indeed confused and wrongly understanding it but now I need to read the links you gave me to try to figure it out.

Already very thankfull you gave references!!!

I just reinstalled the Omada soft and reinstalled it, restarted from 0 and now it all works fine!!!! I even bought the OC200, and it still keeps working fine. I think i was looking too far and eventually overlooking the real problem....

@ldk 

I would kindly ask your opinion to make sure I'm using all the functionalities I have invested for. :)

I just installed in my apartament a new Omada network: OC-200 hardware controller, 3 x EAP245 v3, 1 x EAP225 Outdoor. I used web broser Omadatplinkcloud and also ipad version of Omada app. All devices are connected to the switch TP-LINK TL-SG1016D, which has no PoE, therefore I had to use the power adapter for all AP

After I connected the CO_200 and all the AP,  I upgraded all the firmware to the latest version.

Then I adopted the AP in the controller, renamed them based on the room they are located.

My first question is: do I have to do any setup to enable the seamless Fast Roaming? I couldn't find anything... how can I be sure that it is working properly? If i walk through the home while conferincing online, I see 2 max 3 seconds "reconnection", is this normal?

Second question, in the Topology view, the EAP225 is shown connected to one of the eap245 with a dash line, while I expected it to be visibile like the other 3; not only, it is the only AP with the "3 lines wireless" icon next to the green status "Connected", I couldn't find any reference to it, is there anything wrong?

Thank you for your support!

@Fae Thank you so much, it worked perfect and there is no more even minimum interruption from when i keep crossing access points! And thank you for the clarification on mesh, you were right, the cable was not properly inserted, I fixed it and it went right. This gave me a better idea how to cover areas that are not reached by cables, I'll bridge with mesh connection.

Thank you!!

@antnas Hello,

I'm not a network expert, just a fanatic who tries to understand it :) You need the omada software somewhere to be active to keep your seamless fast roaming, that is why i bought the OC200 controller to keep it active. (you could use a computer and install the software.... but that uses more power)

I'm not sure I understand your 2nd question....

@ldk thank you, yes oc-200 makes life much easier (I'm not network expert as well and lack of people offering services forced me to dig into the topic to create a robust home wifi). The second question was related to the access point that by mistake was not properly connect via cable, it showed a "wireless" sign after "connect" status, it means it was connected to the LAN through another access point via wireless. The topology map is visible in the web broser application, there you have a graphic representation of your network.

Happy to explain more details if needed :) becoming expert :)
