Hello

I have a 2860ac and a couple of AP902s attached by Ethernet. Will the WiFi network served by the 2860ac act as an access point and participate in AP Assisted Mobility aka roaming?

If so, is that automatic or must you turn on some setting in the 2860ac configuration like you do on the AP902s?

I don’t have access to the admin pages at the moment to see what’s in there.

Thanks

The 2860 does have the rudimentary "Router-assisted Client Roaming Parameters" function. There's no "participation", as such though - it just makes a unilateral decision and boots the client off. If it decides to come straight back, it will allow it. I should imagine the AP902 is the same...

This is a 2860Ln: http://eu.draytek.com:12860/ , but might be close enough :wink:

I'm still struggling with the dark arts of AP "assisted" roaming - e.g. I have band steering enabled on my AP903s. An Amazon Echo connected to an AP in the Kitchen on 5GHz with an RSSI of -55dB. If I turn on "only do band steering if the RSSI is better than -78dB" on the AP, then it immediately kicks off the Echo device, which then connects to a more distant AP in the garage. It appears that any change to the roaming parameters "turns off" the wifi on the AP for a while, and the network takes some time to sort itself out again, if one is lucky.

Thank you both. Very helpful.
