WAX610 fast roaming in local management

Dear Dane,

Although this discussion is already few month old, I feel the need to connect on the topic as this also is a disappointment for me. Maybe however you can help me solve this ....

I have a WAX214 AP that works well for half a year now and decided recently to do away with an older non-NG AP and add another WAX. To have some more functionality, specifically seamsless roaming and some more range I decided to get the WAX610 next to the WAX214 I already had.

The WAX214 has a tick that can be set for fast roaming and I indeed also found, after some reading, that on the WAX610 this can be set as well, however only when using the Insight/Cloud management. This was pretty diappointing, not what I expected and am now not sure if I should downgrade the 610 to another 214 as I do not need remote management would not want to pay a yearly fee only for fast roaming.

I can see that for businesses the insight app has real value but for home use it is no more than a nice to have, effective roaming however is of value everywhere.

Can you explain why this is as it is? Is it technically difficult to set/have fast roaming with the 610 locally or is it, to be blund, just a choice of the marketeers to link it to the subsciption?

Hope you can help us home users a bit here ...

Many thanks in advance,

William
