If I connect each AP to 1 router by UTP in the same vlan, are they aware of eachother? Can I have 1 SSID and roaming for clients?

    1 SSID yes, roaming... kinda. It will work, but the choice of keeping connection or change to another AP will be taken by the client.
    I don't know, however, if Nebula cloud management could "fill the shoes" of a on site wireless controller.

    Hi @relja

    Yes, client can roam successfully in your topology. Just to make sure two things below:

    1. Both APs need to have the same SSID with the same security settings.
    2. Please don't put two APs too far away from each other, generally 15-20 meter will be appropriate. 

    Best Regards,
    Richard
