Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

On a traditional WLAN, when a STA is farther from an AP, the access rate of the STA becomes lower but the STA still associates with the AP without reconnecting the AP or roaming to another AP. This degrades user experience. After the smart roaming function is enabled, when an AP detects that the SNR or access rate of a STA is lower than the specified threshold, the AP sends a BTM packet or Disassociation packet to the STA. The STA then reconnects to the network or roams to an AP with stronger signals.

Follow-up Procedure

Run the smart-roam roam-threshold { check-snr | check-rate } command to configure the trigger mode of smart roaming and the smart-roam roam-threshold { snr | rate } command to configure the smart roaming threshold. After that, APs forcibly disconnect STAs with SNR or access rate lower than the threshold.
