[QUOTE="zak88lx, post: 16228976, member: 74415"] I have tried setting up a roaming network for my home Wi-Fi using four Airport Extremes (5th generation). They are placed throughout the home (2 upstairs front and back of home, and 2 downstairs front and back of home) and are all wired to my Gigabit network. I am using the same SSID/network name and passwords for all 4 units, and they are all set to bridge mode, as I am using a TP-Link router. I have forced all of them to use 5 GHz only by using a unique SSID name for that band, as our area is saturated with 2.4GHz traffic. This system works ok, but the device (iPad) wants to cling to the WAP (Wireless Access Point) it first connected to even though it may be the furthest away from that device, and I often have to cycle Wi-Fi on and off on the iPad to force it to closest WAP. I am also using auto channel for each WAP, but I'm wondering if it would be better to set them manually to identical channel. [ATTACH=full]1581757[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
