Due to a bad wifi solution installed in my organization, i need to optimize the connection.

It's seems this client changes regularly his connection between 3 differents access point, at 3 differents distance and in fine it lost the connection.

Do you how to be able to do this configuration.

Thanks

    Hi @Sbellon

    Seems like your clients were keeping roaming between different APs. Here are some settings you may enable first:

    1. Assisted roaming & 802.11r. These configurations can help client roaming to other AP with better signal strength. Path: Menu > Configure > Access points > SSID advanced settings > <Specific SSID profile>
    2. Smart steering. This function will make AP steer the client to the better signal AP. Path: Menu > Configure > Access points > Radio settings. You might tune the Disassociate Station Threshold value to suit your site since the default value is a general value.

    Hope these helps.
