I've been experiencing issues with smart devices connecting to VERY FAR away APs and getting signal levels in the -85+ range. I have set an RSSI threshold on the AP's to -75, and confirmed that there is good signal (usually -60ish) available for the device to connect to a different AP, but for some reason they keep insisting on connecting to the AP's with really low signal. Fast roaming and AI roaming are both enabled. Forcing a re-connect rarely solves the issue (even doing it dozens of times!). I've tried locking to AP's, but then the device just doesn't connect at all. Sometimes a reboot of a specific AP that has higher signal at the device resolves the issue, but not always. I do NOT want to have to set up 12+ SSID's for the network just because this is an issue. Are there other options/things I can try to resolve this?

I had the same problem but I use rate control, it works pretty well. Even if the signal is bad the speed should be at least 24 Mbps and that is good enough for most IoT devices.

 

if the speed is not 24Mbps, the device roams to another access point
