What function to do the AP groups serve on the Flex H AP controllers? Is roaming limited to APs within a group?

I have several APs in a building and one of them serves an older b/g IOT device. I'd like to put this one in a separate group with the older functionality enabled (control rate <11 Mbps, and ax/ac/n station only disabled). But I still want clients to roam between the two groups.

    Hi @Matthew

    The AP groups allow you to set different SSID setting to different AP group. The SSID setting will be applied to the APs in the same AP group. This allows the clients to roam between different APs, which are in the same AP group, since these APs are using the same SSID setting and security option.

    For your requirement, you can still set the same SSID setting and security option between the different AP groups, this will also allow the clients to roam between different APs in different AP groups. And set different radio settings to specific AP group.
