OpenRoaming
OpenRoaming provides a standard for public-access Wi-Fi networks to support
seamless roaming between wireless networks. An OpenRoaming network advertises
its public Wi-Fi capabilities and services so that clients can decide if they want to
connect to the network.
Up to 32 OpenRoaming profiles can be configured and applied to specific wireless
networks (see “OpenRoaming” under “Wireless Networks — Network Settings” on
page 74). Click “Add New” to configure a profile.
