Does WAX610s can support fast roaming without cloud insight mode ?

I have 4  Netgear WAX610, and want to use in a office about 3000-4000 feets.

And I do not want to use the cloud insight management mode.

 

If the  WAX610s can be set to support 802.11r fast roaming  just under the local management mode  ?

Nope -> https://kb.netgear.com/000062512/WAX610-WAX610Y-Firmware-Version-9-1-0-16

...

  • 802.11r Fast Roaming – Allows wireless clients to roam seamlessly between APs belonging to the same Insight location. This feature is available only for access points operating in Insight management mode.

...

 

This applies to all WAC5xx and WAX6xx.

   I had read this in documents, : ( 

   In small office case,  just with 3 or 4 APs, config each AP for same SSID  is a easy job, If WAX xxx can support fast roadming setting 

   in local management mode, It will be helpful for the case who do not want the cloud insight mode.
