How fast is Fast Roaming?
Hi all, Anyone got any idea how quickly fast roaming should switch a device between Orbi Router/Satellites as they move betwen access points? I posted ages ago about it all being a bit dimwitted no...
Its the device that switches, not the router/satellite switching the device to different AP's. If you're router/satellite are to close it can have just as much effect on roaming as being to far away.
Also, fast roaming simplifies the "handshake" between device and router/satellite to make it a quicker process.
