How can I improve WiFi roaming of sticky clients?
The answer is to enable Smart steering.
Smart steering is a feature equivalent to RSSI threshold feature of Zyxel's non-nebula APs, where the AP will stop respond or disassociate the client if the RSSI of the client reaches a certain value to encourage the new association to another AP.
How to configure:
Go to Client Steering page , located in AP > Configure > Client Steering.

Next toggle on the Smart Steering feature.

This should allow the access point to guide sticky clients into associating with nearby APs with better signal strength.
