5 GHz: Roaming Threshold (for Signal Strength)
Setting Description Factory Default
-100 to -35 (dBm)
Specify the signal strength roaming threshold. If the current
connection quality is below this threshold, the client will start
looking better signal AP to associate with.
-65
2.4 GHz: Roaming Threshold (for Signal Strength)
Setting Description Factory Default
-100 to -35 (dBm)
Specify the signal strength roaming threshold. If the current
connection quality is below this threshold, the client will start
looking better signal AP to associate with.
-65
Roaming Difference
Setting
Description
Factory Default
5 to 30
Specify the roaming difference value.
7
NOTE
The Roaming Threshold determines when clients will start background scanning for other candidate APs
with a stronger signal. Once the AWK starts background scanning, the client will compare the connection
quality of the current and candidate AP. If the difference is larger than the specified Roaming Difference,
the client will roam to the new AP.
NOTE
While the AWK is scanning the background, it will allocate 1/3 of its RF resources to search for candidate
APs based on the channel plan configured on the Wi-Fi > Wireless Settings page. The maximum
background scanning time required is proportional to the number of channels checked in channel plan.
NOTE
Once the background scan successfully identifies a candidate AP, the device will roam. The typical Turbo
Roaming handover time of < 150 ms is an average of all documented test results, in optimized conditions,
across APs configured with interference-free RF channels, and default Turbo Roaming parameters. The
clients were configured with 3-channel roaming at 100 Kbps traffic load. Other conditions and factors may
affect actual roaming performance.
NOTE
As key renewal is automatic for WPA3 encryption, using Turbo Roaming with WPA3 will result in a one-time
increased handover time of approximately 200 ms during the roaming process when the key renewal takes
place.
When finished, click APPLY.
Client Isolation
The AWK Series supports client isolation functionality for AP-based operation modes to provide an additional
layer of security for connected client devices.
For configured virtual access points, select the SSID you wish to enable client isolation for. Client isolation
can be either enforced based on SSID where clients connecting to the same SSID on the AP are isolated
from each other; or enforced by subnet where clients connecting to the same subnet as the configured SSID
will be isolated from each other.
By default, client isolation is not enforced.
