Home\Office: suggested model
Good morning 300 quare meters, it is home and office. Today the WiFi coverage is provided by 3 AP, different brand, different technology, the signal is good everywhere, but it is not the same networ...
The hand-over between two AP does typically take a fraction of a second, almost not audible during a VoIP call. In my understanding, 802.11r does only help where EAP, RADIUS & Co. are involved, as these hand-overs typically take several seconds.
I am going to use simple WPA2-PSK, no RADIUS at all.
So 802.11r is not applicable to WPA2-PSK, but only to RADIUS, correct?
Moreover, does this mean that the so called fast roaming will not take place without authentication such as RADIUS?
Thanks

I am sorry to bother yuo again on this subject.
Implementing some WAC505 in my home, same SSID, same user and password, same security, without the Insight, just stand-alone APs.
Will I be able to roam from one AP to another and avoid my clients (expecially Windows) to place a DHCP request each time the AP changes?
I am asking this question because I setup 3 Netgear consumer router (WNDR3700) as pure AP and:
- Android clients roam very very fast (no drops even in a VoIP call) and more over there is DHCP request during the roam
- Windows 10 clients move very fast from one AP to another, but each time the AP changes, Windows place a new DHCP request and, for some seconds they loose the IP and everything drops down.
Will 3 WAC505 standalone behave in the same way?
