EAP615-wall and Seamless Roaming (or Mesh?)
Hi all,
After years with consumer products (1 Asus RT-AC86U + 4 RT-AC68U, all with Merlin firmware), I have decided to move to a more reliable network (especially given issues of the router to handle wifi connections).
I therefore jumped, from the wifi part, on Omada products and bought:
1x Omada Controller OC200
2x Omada Switch TL-SG2210MP
5x Omada EAP615-Wall v.1 (firmware 1.1.6)
I have all configured everything, and switched on the Fast Roaming, AI Roaming and Dual Band 11k report options. Indeed my foundamental requirement is to be able to move all around the house (compose of different rooms in different floors) withtout loosing the connection.
However, I still keep the the connection dropping if I move from one room (ie AP) to the other.
Doing an AI optimisation scan, the 5 EAPs were moved to Tx Power (EIRP) 16 However it seems there is still a gap.
I am trying to increase Tx Power to 20, but I am starting to question if the devices are actually not the right ones to ensure the possibility to have a strong and always on connection.
In few days the 1 month for asking refound will be over, therefore I am questionning if I would not rather have to change EAP and go for EAP620 HD.
This was probably based on the false impression that mesh = fast roaming (which I think having understood it is not the case). However, I cannot understand why with the Asus I could easily move around the house and now I cannot.
Thanks!
