EAP 225 access and roaming behavior
Hi all,
home network with EAP225 is up and running.
Topology in the house (3 levels):
Cellar: Fritz Cable Router with Wireless is installed and connected to the wired LAN in the house.
Basement covered by a Fritz Repeater, which works well
1. Floor: nothing
2. Floor (home office): EAP 225 installed and connected to the wired LAN.
Got the same SSID and password as the Router, is configured as AP, not repeater!
Interesting was, that when moving with a wireless device (smart phone or Macbook) from basement to 2nd floor it takes for the first time to provide SSID and network password to the EAP to access, despite of configuration as an AP in the same network.
Is this normal?
After that when moving (roaming) between basement and 2nd floor or backwards it takes a lot of time, even a manual SSID selection on the wireless dev (smart phone).
How can this come?
Is there a chance to avoid this behavior?
I cannot configure the AP as a receiver because of weak/no signal from the WLAN repeater in the basement.
Any tips are welcome!
