Roaming Between Multiple Access Points
For large environments, multiple Access Points can be implemented to extend the wireless
service coverage area for seamless wireless access. It allows wireless clients to roam from one
AP to another while maintaining the wireless connectivity at all times. A wireless client
wandering across multiple APs will automatically change the operating radio frequency as
required.
In a roaming network, all APs and wireless clients must have the same Service Set Identity
(SSID) and security setting (if enabled). Alternatively the mobile station may use an SSID of
“any” to associate with any available AP, regardless of the AP’s SSID. Roaming among
different Access Points is controlled automatically to maintain the wireless connectivity at all
times.
