Unfortunately this solution didn't work out. Once I enabled Fast Roaming, all of my devices would randomly jump between the different access points (router and satellites) and land on a connection that was basically useless. My Smart Tv would connect to a satellite at the complete other end of the house instead of the router right next to it, and give a "No/Slow Internet Connection" and refuse to switch back unless I power cycled the TV. I disabled Fast Roaming and this issue went away, but I continue to have issues with any device that is connected to the specific Satellite that I believe is an issue.
