Netgear Insight wifi roaming

Hi,

I have a wireless network with 4 WAC720 antennas. Now there are some problems with the roaming thru my office cause of sticky Wi-Fi.

I know I could solve this with a wireless controller like the WC7520 where I can set forced roaming, but that seems a bit overkill to just solve this problem.

Now my question: Is it possible to manage forced roaming settings without a physical controller, but with a software or cloud-solution? Maybe with Netgear Insight Pro? I can’t find this specific information anywhere.

Thanks for any clear answer!

    WAC720 is one of our old access points that does not support roaming feature unless it is connected to a wireless controller. This also does not support Insight Feature but our newer models thus support Insight and roaming feature as well.
