Hello.
Do you know any equipment with active roaming as client or APs that help on client roaming??
What i am doing today is using Mikrotik clients that have active client roaming and Rocket M as AP with AirMAX disabled.
But i am wondering if there is a solution for any client.
Need some help with roaming

I've not tried it but I read that there is strict minRSSI now on the 5GHz UAPs running the newer beta.

Mmm the problem could be that this hard disconnection from ap side to the client can lead to long time to reconnect.
I tested with bullets and it take several seconds to reconnect.
Mikrotik are always scanning in background and change from ap when the newer had better rssi.
I asked on UBNT forums and you know... A lot of fans there.

Re: Need some help with roaming
I don't know the details of how it works. I think in addition to kicking the client, it also bans all weak clients and stops kicked clients from hopping right back on by simply not responding to requests so it is not repeatedly kicking it. Hopefully there is a delta factor where the RSSI needs to be lower to kick than it is to ban.
It sounds like your 'Tiks are working so maybe there is no value for you in that strict minRSSI feature. Probably you want some of the more advanced standards based fast roaming.
