Hello, does WAX218 support roaming (802.11k/r/v)?

    Yes and no.

     

    From what I'm aware, the WAX214/218 offers no proprietary SKC or OKC, it does 802.11k (RRM, radio resource management and assisted roaming) together with 802.11v (BSS transition management, assisted roaming), however as intended to be a standalone AP there is no 802.11r support.

     

    Netgear only offers 802.11r on the WAC5xx and WAX6xx in combination with Insight cloud management, there is no supported control for managing the mobility domain ID for manual confg, eg. to combine with other vendor APs and routers supporting it.
